Note
|
Barbara Ro remembers in an email to Scott Veirs in 2013: "My strongest memories of Grandma Cora Tussing are that she had a china cat which stayed beside that chair your dad remembers, and she had a little Boston terrier named Patsy." Val Veirs remembers in 2013: Grandma Tussing's big stuffed chair behind which were great kids books like Topsy Mopsy. |
