                       Personal knowledge of Alan P. Hamlin.
    Corinne grew up in  favorable circumstances. Her father was a painting
    contractor who was able to provide quite well for his family. She went
    to a finishing school in Virginia. Her first job was with the
    telephone
    company. She enjoyed playing tennis.
    After twelve years of marriage she was widowed and left with three
    children. She took a course in secretarial work at a business college
    and,since it was in the middle of the depression, 1933-1934, she got
    on
    with the PWA, WPA, NRA, etc. set up by Pres. Roosevelt. Later she was
    hired by the Mission Inn doing secretarial work.She was a tireless
    worker and learned how to stand up for her rights. She was a loving
    mother and a good provider altho her income was small. We made do with
    what we had.
    She learned to drive, bought a car, drove her friends all over, also
    her
    children. She loved to play bridge and had a group of friends who got
    together frequently for forty or more years until they started passing
    away.
    She was a great mother and always tried to provide us with the things
    that  other kids had. We were able to go to summer camp and take piano
    lessons or dance lessons.  She was a great example to me of what a
    widowed mother could do if she put her mind to it. She was also an
    eternal optimist.
    I, Alan, have a picture of her when she was in her late teens or early
    20's. She was slim and trim on the tennis court and looked very
    pretty. I
    believe she normally was about 5'4" and somewhere around 100 pounds.
    She had light skin and probably dark brown hair. In her later years
    she
    had shrunk to about
