Grandmother's family had come to Colorado for her father's health. Her parents were born in Canada, but due to some kind of banking scandal (or so we have been told), the family had to leave Canada and settled in Wisconsin. The family acquired the land where IBM is located today. They lived in a home on 63rd, across from where Coot Lake is today. The walls of that home were a foot thick, making the home warm int eh winter, and cool in the summer.

| L to R - Margie, Carrie Lulu, Jessie, Viola |
Margie had many siblings, including sisters Eva, Carrie who went by Lulu, Nora, Jessie, Viola, and Sadie. She had three brothers Floyd, Fred, and Billie. By 1942 none of her family lived in Boulder County, which I'm sure, was very sad for Marjorie as she was very close to all of her family.
Here is today's entry:
