Iris's Chapter

A Christmas Box to Treasure

told by Bill Retzlaff

Bill remembered Ethel Guild as a friend and someone he enjoyed talking with. At Christmas she prepared a special box of candy and cookies for him, which he hid under his bed to avoid sharing. He fondly recalled her other baking and the pleasure of visiting her house.

In the family's own words

I always felt she was my friend, a good person to talk with. I recall, at Christmas she would prepare a box of candy and cookies just for me. I really treasured that, so I would hide it under my bed so I wouldn’t have to share it. This also brings to memory other wonderful things she baked. To me it was always a pleasure to be invited to her house. —By Bill Retzlaff
