We reconnected thru her brother Marvin in Mountain Wisc.
We lived a block apart in Chicago-we were at 10133 So Morgan and the Niggs were at 101/?? So Carpender St.
Her sister Gloria was our baby sitter,John was our WW2 Airforce hero.Marvin and I went to Mt.Vernon grammer school,and Millie
followed along as the "little"sister.
Millie was a brave and generous Lady as I found out later in life--may she rest in peace,and will be missed by all.
Sincerely,
Clint Boughan
