Quotes from Geri Grant remembered...

Geri was always with the popular girls. Margie related a story of how Geri was planning to go to the movies one evening without taking Margie. Geri's conscience got the better of her, and she came back to get Margie from home. Dad was unhappy and decided not to let her go after all.

Thereafter, Geri would reluctantly agree to let her sisters go with her skiing (and such). Geri asked Jean Anderson to help Margie get a job as a cabin maid at the Grand Canyon one summer. Margie went early to make it all work.

Geri let Margie borrow her beautiful clothes once in a while: Jansen & Duncan sweaters and Joyce shoes. Margie still appreciates it today. "She loaned me clothes every once in a while that saved my skin."

Margie relates an experience when they were quarreling as young children. I chased her into the back yard and ran really fast to catch up with her and pounded her once on the back with my fist. Mother saw the whole thing from the window and sent us to bed without supper.

"Usually, we were good friends. We played telephone operator and costumes up in the attic. We were the best playmates. We really were good friends."
