"During the middle of October, Jane Haid Srail traveled from her home in Statesville, NC to visit Norma Deardorff Plummer in Downers Grove in order to pursue their common interest in genealogy. They spent two days in Bureau County, IL (about 80 miles from DG) researching relatives who lived there during the 1800's and another day making use of the research facilities at Chicago's Newberry Library. They further indulged their nostalgia trip with one evening seeing a movie at the Tivoli and another at the Downers Grove Museum participating in a program presented by three local merchants about historical downtown Downers business district. They also attended a new exhibit at the museum on the history of all the DG schools."
Shortly after receiving this communique from Norma, these "before and after" pics were received. Taken almost 50 years apart, these pictures show 2 women who have been the closest of friends virtually their entire lives. The older of the pictures was taken on Easter, 1946. While the most recent was to have been taken during Jane's 2007 visit, it's actually a picture taken 2 years ago; none were taken this trip due to "memory problems" (interpret that any way you wish).
