This is a rerr book aboot Jean and other Springburn folk that she talked with. The author lived 'up a close' near The Princess Cinema and she mentioned 'two playmates' of her's so, being the nosey bum that I am, I phoned her in Wisconsin, U.S. of A. and inquired as to the identity of her playmates. I was happy to learn that they were my two cousins, Jean and Catherine Kiloe. It's a small, small world, especially now that we have these wee websites to unite us again, J.R.
