It was not until Cecile and Irene were in High School that they foundout they
were sisters. Irene said she always knew there was a specialattraction
between my cousin and I, that was more than being cousins.
The two had been best friends before and were much closer afterwardsand
forever. When Irene was 16, she graduated from Van Buren High Schooland was
offered a position teaching English in Canada by the Nuns. They werehoping
she would join the order
She decided to stay in Van Buren to work at the bank, where she hadbeen
offered a job. She had some experience from school where she acted asbank
representative since the school held accounts for the children. Thishad to be
around 1926 or so, during the depression. A job was a job and thisone paid
something like $6.00 a week.
