Mama was assisted by Dr. Lee Chambliss. Mama, Daddy, my oldest sister, Georgie ("Jo"), who was nearly 12 years old, and my next older sister, Mildred ("Micky") all were living there at the time. After settling in Arizona and New Mexico in 1926, I went to high school in a little Mexican town in southern New Mexico. In 1934, my sister Micky married Jim Shepard, we were living in Los Angeles. A girlfriend and I foolishly decided to go hitch-hiking. In those days it was quite an adventure *not so now!). I stayed in Los Angeles, got a job working nights in a cafe and a happy-go-lucky time followed. I married my beloved husband, Bill McAndrews, in September 1936. A little three room house behind our landlady was our first home. In a year, our only child, Wayne, was born. Six weeks before, Micky had a little girl, Teddy. The two kids grew up together and always seemed more like brother and sister than cousins."1 |
