Thanks…

My mother wasn’t so much a portrait painter. She painted many still lifes, landscapes and abstract designs. She also did sculpture and and life drawing. I am fortunate enough to have a acquired a few of her works. Mrs. Slater, I believe has gone on teach painting and is still is today.

I forgot about the Slater’s from Sherman -I think I left them out. Damn it…What was the girl’s name that was in our grade?

That was funny April use to run to the Pub’ kinda like Lassie!

Where are all the portraits ‘She’ painted?

Yes, “She” was a very talented artist along with her very good friend Mrs. Slater from Sherman St.

I miss hangin’ in the backyard too…remember April? What a great dog! April was always trying to break lose from the house. When successful she’d run to The Windsor Pub to look for Joe!

Your mom, ‘She’ was the best. Many didn’t realize she was a very good artist.

I miss the days and nights in the backyard at 29 Fuller!

It’s funny because I loved going to your house. Your mom always seemed up for anything. Remember when she let us make donuts? My parents always wanted us outside. I guess that’s what happens when you have eight kids.

Not to crush a memory, Liz, but I distinctly remember it was Mommy who came up with Jetsel’s name! He was such a cutie, wasn’t he?? (And you were the first “E” in his name — since you were the first “E” in the family!!)

It’s so nice to read about Brooklyn and see the familiar “faces” posting here.

I miss Brooklyn so much. I’ve been in South Florida for the past 17 years….boy, time flies!

Be well.

No problem. Thanks for the memories!

My dad was so proud of himself for coming up with the name.. I always fought with Eddie that my E was the first E… LOL

I have a vague recollection of the production people asking about the house but do not recall the movies either.

LOL re: the ADD comment. Even it it was a known condition back then they still would have believed in a Physical medical treatment as opposed to a pill.
