New Under The Sons
Ada & Sarah have recently taken up residence at 16 Elm Street in the Customer Relations Dept. Right now it takes the two of them to fill the baskets once used by Fran & Henry, and there is still some room to spare. The kittens were named after our great-grandmother Ada Fairbanks Gillingham, and our grandmother Sarah Elizabeth Gillingham.
