AI Notes
Second page of Julia’s letter of Feb. 10, 1945, continuing from page 148. Julia recalls family visits with her late husband Coburn — Amy and Puck stopping by on the way to West Pa[lm Beach?], a trip together to a place they nicknamed ‘the Dump’, and visits from Dee (Emma Dee Walker Corbell) and her husband Bob (Robert Lawrence Corbell Jr.). She notes that Coburn had ‘a very special place in his heart for all three of the Walker children’.
Continued on page 150. “Dee” is Emma Dee Walker Corbell, the compiler’s daughter; “Bob” is her husband Robert Lawrence Corbell Jr. The three Walker children are Dee, Mary Ann, and a third — likely the brother referred to elsewhere in the album. “The Dump” appears to be a private family nickname for a vacation or hunting place.
