On the porch with Johanna Rohrmeir. My friend Johanna's the blonde. Our dolls look like sisters. I'm in the center, baby sister Susan in the playpen. Circa 1940. Photograph taken by Olga, our mother. We moved next door a couple of years later; we used to rent this house. I think Johanna rented the apartment upstairs from the Essmann' s in the house on the other side of this one. I wonder where she went and what became of her.
