Nutter in Dodgeville, Iowa County, Wisconsin, United States, December 9, 1945. (Paul E. Nutter is #136.) (See Paul E. Nutter for the continuation of this line.) Gahanna, Ohio February 11, 1989 Dear Martha: You have been so much on my mind since Christmas. Rec'd your very nice letter & want so to tell you that I have disliked anyone or felt any animosity toward them. Do not remember your Father at all just that his name was BOB. All I do remember is somehow Aunt ROOSEVE would receive word that the two of you would be coming over to 608 or meeting us for lunch, there would be a phone call cancelling or just a no show. Gaffer would go around with an extremely long face & ROOSEVE would cry & say "I hope they know that we love them & want to see them." Oh well that is all in the past. By the way did you know that ROOSEVE was named after TEDDY ROOSEVELT? They just took the "LT" off. Doesn't that seem odd? Would have answered your letter sooner but right after Christmas we moved from 4150 N. Hamilton to 689 Havens Corners. They bought our other home & six others to make way for a new grocery store. We lived there for nearly 41 years. At first it was quite a wrench. It seems so odd that you can get to feel at home in a new place so quickly. PAUL and I have been married for 43 years. We have a son named RONALD who is 37 years old. He works for the local school system, is a bachelor & says he will never marry. To each his own. You cannot live their life for them. PAUL has a daughter ELAINE from a former marriage. She is living in Kissimmee, Fla., loves the hot weather which is not for me. I worked for the local school system in the kitchen until 1983 when I had a mastectomy retired in 1984 because of phlebitis in the left leg. Feel fine now except for arthritis twinges. PAUL has had several illnesses about which I will not go into detail. Gahanna is more or less an suburb of Columbus. Have lived here all our married life, would never want to move. GINNY lives in Wis. with her husband, 3 children & 7 grandchildren (lucky her). Have not seen her since DICK died which is about 13 yrs. for some reason we are not very close. Too bad because we are the only ones left of the family.That leaves 4 of us doesn't it? Seems so sad. Do you remember ANNA BARBARA, Cousin MAMIE & her daughter RUTH? They are all gone except RUTH who is in a nursing hOme in Illinois. How I loved them all, could not wait for summer to come, when I could go to Chicago & see them once again. When I graduated from Ridgeway H.S. in 42 went to Chicago. Got a job as a Route Clerk for Western Union at La Salle & Van Buren. Lived with them all (I mean Gaffer, ROOSEVE, BARBARA & ELEANOR at 608). PAUL is a retired builder. Very good even if I do say so myself. Loved people to tell him he could not build or do something. Proved them wrong of course. Small detail work was his specialty. Love your 1st Cuz -- SHIRLEY

4 iii. Richard Hunt Andersen (#121) was born in Oak Park, Cook County, Illinois, United States April 29, 1927. Dick died ABT 1976.
