Aunt Effie lived in Bangor when I was a young child. (We lived in Bangor at that time, also.) Her house was on my way to school, and sometimes she would invite me to stop at her house after school or come to visit her on the weekend. We played Parcheesi and I remember having fresh peaches with cream at least once at her house. She had a box full of wooden blocks that I liked to play with. Aunt Effie and Uncle Harry never had children of their own, but they raised a nephew -- Allan Miller -- whose mother died shortly after his birth. (Allan was already grown and gone by the time I came along.) I don't remember Uncle Harry. I think he died before I was born.
