The first of Hayne and Patsy's children


Our first child was born August 1, 1958.  She was ten days later than the schedule!!!  We named her Anne Flavia after my mother and Hayne's grandmother on his Waring side.


My mother came to Iowa City just before Anne was born to help out and she stayed until Daddy and Bill and Bob all drove up to Iowa City to pick her up and take her home.  


Then we started making plans to move to Buffalo, New York where Hayne's first teaching posotion would be, at the University of Buffalo.  For the move his parents came up and we rented a trailer to pull behind their car with our things in it. I don't think we had a car even then; I think we bought one in Buffalo later on.

Windy Hill at Christmas


After John D. and Frances Waring's plane crash in 1955, Frances continued to live alone at the farm for many years.  This is the Christmas photo she mailed to friends and family in 1958.
