If she had been born to a different family in a different place, she could have become a star, a performer on the stage or screen. She was a very talented woman who sang, played the piano and painted beautifully with no training.

Broadway's loss was my gain. Miss you, Grandma.

May 30, 1934. Washington Park, Milwaukee. Sarah, aged 21, on a date with her future husband, my Grandpa. I think they make a very dapper couple. I adore her dress with the matching slouch hat, gloves, shoes, and handbag.
