I remember surprising her with a visit when i was around 30. I was visiting Reading and decided to stroll down Mulberry St. and see my grandmother old house and then came 223 1/2 Mulberry St. home of Anna and Tony Dietz. I remember ringing the door bell and a few minutes later Anna looking very stoutly wearing a buster brown haircut and the typical grandma glasses appeared. Her smile was instaneous and she knew immemdiately who I was. It was as if time had stopped for her and her little Jimmy was back. I cant remember much of what we talked about but i do remember her very plain living room narrow and not to roomy as she lived in a sandstone row house. As i said in previous post she nurtured almost 100 children, many into adulthood so i am sure some of our conversation was about those children . There isn't much else I can remember of that time so this will be the last reference to my dear Anna.
My parents were married at St Paul's in Reading on June 14 1924 I still have her wedding pictures in my living room . I always thought they made such a striking couple. Little can you tell from this picture the course their lives would take.
today was charlies first day back in class from easter break. He scored another A- in his class and i will surely owe him a special day out if he makes the dean's list. I am so proud of his accomlishments and how well he is doing on all his class projects and of course the runway shows.
