CAROUSEL VEST - TA DA!
ays
our webmaster, Bill Cook: "Almost since I began SHS58.org,
Mary-Jo Kline, who graduated in the Class of 1957 at Southside High
School, has been collaborating with me on photo features and stories
about Elmira and Southside. Recently she sent me a photo of herself
that I immediately wanted to show everyone. For several years, M-J
has been giving sets of the yearly editions of Eldridge Carousel ornaments
to a friend, now 86 years old, who's a carousel fan and gifted seamstress.
This year, her friend surprised her with a vest, the theme of which
she thinks Elmirans will recognize immediately."
Says Mary-Jo, "The vest's creator
is Nancy Epley of Lexington, VA. Nancy's daughter, Anne Ekstrom, was
my best buddy when we both worked at Sotheby's, and we've remained
friends ever since."
