There was a party in California. Many women were present. I suspect that some of them were Soroptimists like Edna St. Clair Walther.
It was some kind of a costume party..I think.

Look at the freckels she painted on. She is the one that said “I knew that Eddie would come like this” and just howled. Va. (Dr. Virginia Tyler) + I crawled in like real babies.

Edna Elizabeth Clayson (19 Apr 1910 in Nevada - 3 Apr 1993) was an optometrist. She also lived in San Pedro.
I think the mystery letters after Leonore are S.P. (San Pedro).
DeleteThese ladies were party animals. Such a great gang.
ReplyDeleteWow, Iggy is on a roll here! Glad to see so many resources found...but...how sad to know this connection to that horrific 747 crash.
