Anson Croman, undated, front row, left Marge Robinson writes: "he
is my mother's mother's father. I was a teenager
(or almost) when he died so I remember him very well. My
mother's father died when I was very young so Anson was
the only grandfather that I really knew and I was the
only female grandchild (& great-) until Donna and a
cousin her age came along.
"I used to stay with grandma during the summer (where he lived) and he paraded me all over the metropolis of Munith including spending 15 cents to have my hair 'done' at the beauty shop." |
