In 1987, north across 3rd Street from our house stood the old Munn Addition of the Jane C. Stormont Hospital. Interestingly, Dad had worked (and lived) there for a short time in High School while Mother received her nurses training there in the 1940s. It had been abandoned and neglected for years. Amidst talk of using it as a half-way house or low income apartments, Tom Woltkamp saved the day by buying it, razing it ...
and building his house on the corner.
For the past 25 years, we have enjoyed being neighbors to Tom and his entire family ...
Last week, Tom moved.
Life will not be the same. Thank you, Tom for being such a great neighbor. I miss you already.
In Tom's place, we have a new Tom. Yep, Tom and Andrea ... and their 3 darling daughters ... moved in last weekend.
This is going to be fun.
