    Vi was born in 1932 She and I were close in age, but no other way... weird huh? AND IF you hear that I was born a year earlier than 1933... I lied to get a job too. Then the insurence.... Bl. cross I think.. caught it somehow and I told them simply that I ought to know when I was born!! LOL! They weren't happy with me... and they DID correct it too! They must have got it from S.S.

    Love,
    Bea.
