1931: ROSALIE FRENKING, CATHEDRAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

In keeping with "Local History With A Personal Touch," one of the features of this blog, herewith a photo from the "CATHEDRAL HIGH SCHOOL" folde in the Hamilton Library Local History database. I will be hearing from loyal visitor Ms. Candy Jens to let me know if this lady is part of the locally famous Frenking's Florist from years past.

1950's; Hamilton Avenue Greenhouses

The photo indicates that the greenhouses were those of Frenking, the Florist. I have since found that this is not the case. The photo indicating it as the home of "Frenking the Florist" is in error.
This photo brings back many, many memories of my teen years. Down the street was the home of my childhood buddy, Jesse Anderson who lived in a little cottage on Ward Avenue. Carl DeAngelo's Del Rio was also in the neighborhood, and Carl had a huge round oak table reserved for me and my buddies where he dubbed us the "Knights of the Round Table." We met there nearly every night after taking our dates home.
