Memories of Charlotte



  • All her crocheting

  • Her dressed up for work in DC (with pearls?)

  • Visiting her parents in North Arlington

  • Her dad's cigar/pipe?

  • Charlotte's dad sneaking me into the hospital in Fredericksburg to see Rose when he and his brother-in-law were in the Potomac overnight when their fishing boat tipped over

  • Visits to the beach house - playing cards, cheese popcorn and crabs

  • Taking me/us? from the beach house for dinner across the 301 bridge - soft-shell crabs and slot machines

  • Plastic Christmas cutouts that stuck to her apartment windows

  • Taking her grocery shopping frequently after I got my license

  • Uncle Frank taking us to Georgetown for a special showing of Gone with the Wind

  • Taking her to a lot of movies like Oklahoma

  • Their huge collection of 45's and the one they bought for me

  • Driving down home and stopping at the same restaurant on 211 with the great French fries

  • My friend Lynn, Carla, the Mauzy's and the other neighbors that she befriended
