Christie's Diary



1964

Faun was Grandma's cousin. She and her husband Bob lived in a big farmhouse a few miles outside of London, Ohio.

Every summer Grandma and Grandpa made a trip to Ohio to visit Grandma's relatives, and they usually took me with them. We always stayed at Faun & Bob's house a few nights. I loved it there. Bob McDonald was a gentle giant of a man, very calm and soft-spoken, and it always fascinated me that he was actually a prison guard. Aunt Faun and I had the same birthday, and we exchanged birthday cards every year until she died in 2002.
