Piper and I just spent a magical afternoon with three VERY special ladies.  We met at the lovely home of our good friend Liz Lumb who hosted the "meeting on Frances Street".  First came Norma Dopp and then Ann Gardiner. We talked for almost two hours about what they remembered of life in Key West from 1912 on.  We spoke of water from cisterns, mosquitoes, promenading on Duval Street, the Remembering Tree, life, passing on, children, WWII and blackouts,John T. Sawyer and Miss Agnes and......well, you're just going to have to wait for us to get it all down.  This was one of the most wonderful afternoons and days of our lives.  We promised to get together soon and do it again.  We're all going to bring picture and share them. Chris and Piper
