While visiting in Cape Charles we went to visit the eldest daughter of my parents best friends, the Bristers, who lived next door to us on Century Street in Memphis in the 1940s and 1950s. Stan and Elizabeth Brister were lifelong friends of my parents. My mother was quite thrilled to visit with Patricia, "Tish", who had married Dick Counselman and moved from New Orleans to Norflok. Dick and Patricia were kind enough to take us out on their boat the Slow Hand. We got to meet Patricia's two daughters Debbie with her new baby ??, and Beth and her children Ashley and Mark. |
