Phyllis
and George lived in Savannah at 2324 East 40th Street for many
years. Johnny and Georgie shared a bedroom that you walked through;
Cindy and Kathy shared a room on the back right corner, and the
room I liked best was Uncle George's office.
It was on the front left corner of the house with jalousied windows and pecked pine walls. In the midst of a house full of noisy kids, it was a quiet haven to me. I would peek in and look at all his things and think how smart he must be. I remember Uncle George as an energetic man, a good father and a sportsman who loved going out on the water in his boat with his sons. I was always intrigued about the short-lived part-time candy business he and my father, Neil Fischer, had. I would have loved to have seen them at work. Iris Beecher Smith shared her memories with me: "I remember George and Neil making taffy in Moma's (Mary Gannam Saraf Beecher) garage and parching peanuts in the parcher out by the "cement pool." (The garage was a huge building in the backyard behind the house on Hopkins Street that included the washroom, an enclosed room on the right side that had a window looking out into Grandma's garden.) |
| I
was sad when Aunt Phyllis, Uncle George and the kids moved to North
Augusta. I missed Aunt Phyllis' laugh and being around "sisters."
I did visit them at 323 Lake Avenue in North Augusta, South Carolina
one summer. They had what seemed to me to be a huge house - 2 stories
with dormers in the bedrooms upstairs, an indoor laundry room and
a den for watching TV. We had a big dinner when my parents picked me up and I remember Aunt Phyllis making yeast rolls that smelled wonderful cooking in the oven and tasted even better. I remember that one year Thanksgiving fell on Cindy's birthday - which totally confused me. For years I would boast and tell people my cousin's birthday was on Thanksgiving, not understanding the quizical looks they gave me until I was older. |
