| Gladys and Friends Status: Located; From Grace Louise Grist:
Cora Harvey (we called her Cody) she was an office partner and best friend of mother's. She took care of us sometimes; she taught Jim and I how to oil paint, and had us go to her "art camp" in the summertime ... and had us enter our paintings in the annual county fair (and we won awards!!) She was a kind, sort of funny lady -- a salt-of-the-earth type.
Dr. Busch (dentist) was our neighbor on Winona Ct. He and his wife Mary (photo) were very good friends and his kids were our pals, especially mine. Stevie and I played together a lot,he was a super pianist. Carol and I played paper dolls at her house. Their mom, Mary, made delicious schaum torte with strawberries. Dr. Busch had this sailboat (probably 20 ft.) and he took us out on it quite a lot (but never enough) on Lake Winnebago. A really nice man, even if he was a dentist. He teased me a lot. |

| Gladys Strite Status: Located; From Louise Grist:
I believe I photographed this. It's a pic of Mother [Gladys Strite] in the middle. The little woman in the back, I don't recognize, but all the rest worked at the fur store with Daddy [Franklin Grist], and later with Mother after he became ill. Probably this pic was dated 1954 or 55. The lady next to Mother is Peg du Pre. She always wore ALL BLACK every day, head to toe. But she was a marvelous saleswoman. On Mother's left is Edna, who did the sewing and repairing, and then Florence? Francine? Her name escapes me, but she did secretarial work. After she left, and Mother took over the store at Franklin's death, I resigned my teaching position in Milwaukee and took over her duties for a year, helping with whatever: cleaning, advertising, delivering coats, just general go-fer. It made me realize I wouldn't ever want to be in retail sales. |

On the right is Gladys with Lillian Griswold; on the left, maybe her daughter, Donnalyn. Both seem to be in California. Could be in the 1960s after Gladys sold Grist Furs and Fashions. The Griswolds, Lillian and Don, were next-door neighbors when Gladys and Franklin lived at 4811 Park Ave. South in Minneapolis. They remained life-long, close friends.
