My Mom was Ruth O'Connor and Evelyn was one of her dearest friends. My Mom made a game of supplying yarn in a variety of colors. Even after my parents moved to Antioch, the girls kept in touch by phone. The Smiling Handicrafters was the joy of Mom's week. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Love to you all from our family and my Dad, James O'Connor
