Elgie graduates from Wellesley


 My aunt Elgie (aka Ethel Louise) at her college graduation from Wellesley with her grandfather Edward Cohen.  When? Early 1950s??  She majored in Physics.  As they said in those days:  A really smart cookie!  She worked in the early days of computers and also with NASA.  She worked as many things!

I see it's been nearly 3 weeks since I've updated this.  I will work on it!!!

I regret to report that my holiday lights have already stopped working:(

Oh, oh, I just found this the obituary of Barbara Davis, Elgie's cousin Barbara.  They were nearly the same age.  Once, when I visited, Cousin Barbara came over and gave me some small gifts.  After that, she would call me regularly with updates.  Then I didn't hear and Elgie said that Barbara was very ill.  She really wanted to know what was going on.  Begged me to find out.  I called the facility but they wouldn't tell me much.  Elgie mentioned her often when I talked to her; she was afraid that Cousin Barbara died.  But I didn't know.  They were the same age.  I looked and found the obituary, she died Aug 29, 1994, just six weeks before Elgie.  I wish I could have shared that with Elgie.  Just the day after I visited her.
