Memories

Mom

Mary Eugenia Bowers Badger (Nov. 13, 1912-Apr. 22, 1991)

Tim One early memory of Mom is after Mary died. In the evenings after Lois and Steve, being nearly three and four years younger than me, were in bed, Dad was out-of-town on business and Andrew was attending school in South Carolina, Mom would send me to the corner drug store to get a bottle of ginger ale and a carton of ice cream. She and I would sit down and enjoy an ice cream float and watch television.
