Florence

This is Keith Donald West when he was eleven years old. The Young lady's name is Florence. She was a girl from the neighborhood. Keith and Florence are dressed and George and Martha Washington.

What was the occasion? Who made the costumes? What were Keith's feelings toward Florence? What were Florence's feelings toward Keith?

My father grew up in a house on Denver Street in Salt Lake City. Denver street was just one block west of Liberty Park. As you can imagine, Liberty Park played an important part in the life of my father as a boy. He had a lot of good friends that he talks about. There was George Roberts and Jay Hanks. What were some of the other friends names? And what about Florence?

UPDATE: Dad had this to add...

Yes, that was Florence Gooch, who lived next to us. She had a sister named Mickey, and Florence and I were in a sixth-grade program about Colonial times. We rented the costumes from a costume company. When I was young, I would go to movies and the boy always married "the girl next door!" Gasp! Me married to FLORENCE GOOCH? Never! Never!! Never! Also, in the movies, the hero always sang to his girlfriend and I thought, "Gee, when I start going out with girls, I will have to sing to them!" Also, at that time some neighborhood trees had been cut down and, of course, I stood next to one -- proudly holding my little hatchet and puffing out my chest!
