Quite a Time

Vol. 27, No. 3 [Gene] 

Bellflower, Calif. 

July – 1 – ‘47 
(Just remembered Rose suggested I send this to you Sadie) 

Dear Shan and All O’Connors: 

Was beginning to think the chain letters got lost and I never would get them. I am so sorry about the address. Thought I had written everyone so here it is. 356 E. Artesia St., Bellflower, Calif. Phone Torrey - 7-0350. 

I enjoyed each and every letter this round and know the wedding was beautiful. Will be so anxious to receive pictures of it. By the time the next round reaches us, Elaine’s big day will have come and gone. Know that too, will be a beautiful one. 

Why don’t all of you who can accept Gee’s kind invitation for a trip out this way? It would be wonderful to see you all and I am hoping Larry has his car very soon. 

Mother and Dad came out on May 1st and both have improved in health since their arrival. They like Calif. almost as well as we do and think the trailer life is fine. They want to be remembered to all of you. My neighbors (Prendergast) came out on May 22nd and stayed for six days. We really had a wonderful visit and got around quite a bit. 

The girls continue to grow and are enjoying their vacation to the fullest. Expect to have some pictures of all of us before too long. Our neighbor’s brother takes pictures and does his own developing and has invited us over to have some taken. 

Roberta has joined the “Brownies.” They meet at some park every Tues. and have quite a time. They are to go to the mountains for a few days, the last of this month. Diane is improving in her speech by degrees and is getting so much older. She will go into the Brownies when she is seven and Roberta into the Scouts in the fall. As usual, there is never a dull moment. 

Dr. Nichols has kept me pretty busy for the last few weeks. He has a confinement case coming up in a few days. I have met some lovely people and think there is a good possibility of a good job here in Bellflower by Fall. Working for Dr. Nichols is grand, because my pay is clear profit. Get transportation to and from every day. Usually have a few days between cases which gives me a chance to catch up on my work at home. 

Will be glad to get the pictures back Dan—seems like they have been gone a long time. Received the letters this afternoon and will get them off to you Shan in the morning to avoid further delay. Till the next round—

All our Love Gene
