[or-roots] Buttermilk Corner

[Anne Comer]

Dorothy, how was it that we weren't floating in buttermilk?  Or maybe we 
were and it was just me that didn't like it.  Probably that was it, but 
with the Jersey Dairy Farm background of our mother, and the fact that 
our grandmother made and sold butter in Waldport/Tidewater area, it 
seems like buttermilk was a certainty in our household.

And yes, I remember that you older kids and your friends always went 
everywhere and left the little sister behind.    I did 1st grade at 
Glenco, got a half year in at Sunnyside, and then grades 3, 4 and 5 at 
Irvington.  Irvington School had the most beautiful wood inlay pictures 
in the library.  Ali-Baba and the Forty Thieves was one of the stories 
depicted.  They are still there, or at least were a short few years ago  
(not more than 10)  when a couple of young relatives were attending 
school there.  I hope they will always be preserved.   I would love to 
go back inside and see them.
