Pam Anderson, Dennis Christie, Carla Christie & Taffy the cat

Taffy was a great cat.  He allowed me to dress him in doll 

clothes including bonnets and the put him to bed and cover 

him up.  Usually he was able to take a nice long nap.  

Carla and I were in 3rd grade.

Pam Anderson and Sally Roth Otterson

This picture was taken in the back of my grandparent's house on Maple Ave.  Rodney Murty made the sandbox.  Sally was a cousin from Eau Claire who was the granddaughter of May Etheridge Roth who was sister of my grandma, Blanche Etheridge Murty.
