Christmas 1958

For Christmas 1958, Shirley (Raczkiewicz) and her husband Roy Longwell (my parents) were celebrating their second Christmas together after being married. It was their first Christmas as parents since I was born three months earlier. When Shirley and Roy were married October 1957, they lived in “the little house” which was behind her parents’ house on Milwaukee St. It was very small, They lived in it for a few years until her parents wanted to let her brother Ronnie and his new wife Pam use it next.
