Two Noras: 1915 and 2023

My  paternal grandmother, Nora, was a great recorder of daily events. I have her daily notes from 1913, 1914, 1915, 1916, 1918, 1919, 192...

Two Noras: June 11, 1914 and June 11, 2014

Nora Bauer: Thursday, June 11, 1914

Was to singing class tonight. Sr. Superior come up and said that it was 57 years since she made her First Communion. We also went to the picture show, it was good. 

Nora Spitznogle: Friday, June 11, 2021

Worked in the office today. Went to a concert at Holliday Park - it was a real treat after all of this time with no live shows. Visited Brenda and Gary after. 

I've been trying figure out who the Sister Superior was in that era. I think it may have still been the Venerable Sister Superior Aloysia, who started at the parish in 1877. I haven't had any luck finding a photograph of her. 
I think this is the film that Grandma Nora saw. I've been known to pop into movies for the air-conditioning...I bet it didn't hurt Nora's enjoyment of the film. 


I got to see Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors play at Holliday Park this evening. I'm a big Drew fan and have dearly missed seeing live music - it's been 17 months since my last live show. Holliday Park is a beautiful venue and it was a gorgeous night...once it cooled down. It was 88 degrees at 7:00 P.M. 

Brenda lives closes, so we had a quick visit.
