Happy 70th Birthday to My Cousin Rho in Heaven!

Rosemary "Rho" Jean Streff Grandusky (1949-2016) in April 1953, my first cousin and the oldest of the 28 grandchildren of our grandparents Elizabeth Florence Massmann Pape (1902-2000) and Paul Robert Pape (1896-1970).  Rho was born on May 11, 1949, so she would have been 70 today.



The photo above was cropped out of the photo below, which includes Rho's mother Elizabeth "Betty" Mary Pape Streff (1927-2017) at the front steps of my grandparents' home at 2093 West Lunt in Chicago, Illinois.  This is from a Kodachrome slide I found in the study of my late father, Frederick Henry Pape (1929-2017).  Dad took the photo when he was home on leave from the Air Force, enroute from Korea to Ellington Air Force Base in Houston, Texas.
