I Remember When—
By Ruth Keyser
Reaching the age of saying "I remember when” definitely has its drawbacks, but also has its joys, especially in memroies of trips taken and rewarding hours spent with my motherin-law, Mrs. “Cousin Callie” Keyser.
I recall on ^ visit to Maine seeing her standing on the beach, skirts pulled modestly but prudently high enough to avoid the calm flats, peering interestedly into the holes which would yield delicious clams for our host to steam. All the while she was marvelling at being able to harvest food from the ground which had not been planted.
Hearing only from report, 1 remember how she became friend and sometime adviser and confidante to many members of the circus also winterj ing in Sarasota. Although at j first they may have seemed difI ferent and strange to her, soon they were "just folks”. For that reason she was shocked when my husband and I confessed that we did not know our neighbors on either side of of our Washington, D.C., apartment. “Why,” she said, would have been in and borI rowed an egg or something
[ long before this.” Sure that
j she would have, I feel equally ; certain that both she and the | unknown neighbors would have | received some profit from the encounter.
