DID YOU KNOW Grandma Birdean and her cousin Helen Sticney were graduating from high school. Helen's mother, Aunt Ruby sent grandma a real pink rose. It was so thoughtful and grandma loved it. Grandma's parents didn't go to the graduation. They were moving to Spring Lake. She stayed that night at her friend, Sylvia's house, and the next day tried to find her way home (wherever that was.)
She found a bus leaving for Spring Lake and got on it, hoping she could find out where she lived. When she got to Spring Lake, she started to get off the bus, when a girl took hold of her arm and said,"stay on the bus. I'll show you where to get off." When the bus stopped on the street where the girl, Helen Carter lived, they got off. Helen took her to grandma's new home. That was the beginning of a friendship that lasted for many years.
Helen's father was named Warren Carter. He and grandma's mother were sweethearts when they were young. They wanted to get married, but their parents objected. Warren's family had already picked out his mate (whom he married.)
