Hi folks,
I don't think that I have anything substantive to add to what you all are
searching out; yet, I couldn't help but chime in with my recollections
of the (George and Hazel ?) VanKirks that I knew as a child. Particlarly
memorable was my mother's (Sally Fletcher) relationship with Hazel, not
the least of which was the mid-week "floating bingo game" that Mom, Hazel,
and a bunch of other wonderful women (mostly, if not wholely, Women of
the Moose) participated in. I can clearly remember those times that it
was Mom's "turn" and the tables and chairs would somehow appear at our
little house on East Washington St. I remember setting them up; having
to help make the "it's time for a break" sandwiches and goodies; and
hop[ing
that these ladies were more focused on their bingo doings than on how many
sandwiches and goodies my brother and I might have snarffed down.
Good luck in your search for info....don't give up!!
Morris "Mo" Fletcher
