Like mother, like daughter

Carla Curtis, the daughter of i Mrs. Carolyn Casto, Tombstone, Ariz., a former Milford resident and the granddaughter of the late„ Mr. and Mrs. John F. Augsburger, is following in her mother’s footsteps. She is a Tombstone High School junior and has started her performing career. The following article appeared in the Tombstone Epitaph, Tombstone, Ariz., February 16: Carla Curtis cannot really remember when she started her performing career. It must have been when her mother was managing a restaurant in Indiana, she said. Carla would jump up on a booth and start singing “The Pinky Song.” Carla, the daughter of Carolyn Casto, is following in her mother’s footsteps. Mrs. Casto sang on a live radio show in Indiana when she was 16 — Carla's age. Carla made her first public appearance in Tombstone about two-and-a-half years ago when she sang “Paper Rose” at the Casino Saloon. She was here visiting Molly Jo Fuller. Carla made her second public appearance at the Miss Centennial pageant. This time she sang a song she wrote about her father, called “Daddy." Carla said it is a true song, but a “sad song. If I feel kind of sad I can write them better. " Carla, a Tombstone High School junior, said she felt better when her performance was over. "I was really scared; I was really nervous.” But, she added “It was probably the best time I sang it, because I wanted to do it just perfect.” Carla says music is her main interest right now. Her next goal is to get together with a band and get some practice. “Then,” she said, “the first thing I want to do is make a record of my own songs. ” The demand for songwriters is high, Carla said. “When somebody breaks up with her boyfriend or something sad happens, they always ask me VFWto celebrate Saint Rat's Day Veteran’s of Foreign Wars Post 1342, Syracuse, will hold a Saint Patrick’s Day party on Saturday, March 17.

to write a song about it.” she said. Carla said she might solve the problem and write one song and call it “Couples.” Writing songs is a personal thing for Carla. The songs she writes are usually sad and always about close friends. Carla said she writes the melody before she writes the lyrics. “The music to me counts more,” she said. With the music written, Carla finds it easier to write the words. Carla came to Tombstone with her mother from Milford, Indiana. She said Tombstone is nice, but she still likes Indiana better. Carla said she likes to live “where you can t go walking outside without getting stickers in your feet.” Making records is definitely in her future, said Carla. She said her grandfather would support her recording effort, but she wants to wait until she has 10 good songs of her own before she records. Second to music, Carla said her favorite hobby is horses. She had to sell her last horse because he was just too much for her to handle, she said, but she plans to have another some day. Carla said her real hope is to go to Nashville. Country music is her favorite and they play it best there, she said. "Besides, that’s where Lynn Anderson lives and she is my idol. “I'll have a horse ranch and sing. too. Just like Lynn Anderson.” REAL menu March 15-21 THURSDAY - Pineapple juice, fish wedge with tartar sauce, cole slaw, cheese whipped potatoes, fruited gelatin, bread, margarine, milk, tea, coffee.

LOUISAS LETTER

Dear Louisa, 1 have been living with my daughter who is married and has two children. Her husband has been nice to me--in fact, all of them have gone out of their way to make me feel at home. But I know that I interfere' with their style of tife-the children’s friends are not in and out as much as before I came and when the older one’s entertain they feel that they must include me among the guests. I have only one room and have had to store of my things because I was not sure that this way of life would suit me. 1 am financially able to rent an apartment but 1 hate to hurt my people’s feelings by telling them that such a plan would suit me better. What do you think 1 should do? Grandpa--MicH.

Answer: If the lot on which they live is large enough and you are financially able to do so, it seems to me that a tion would be to build a garage apartment in their yard. These can be quite attractive and convenient and would allow both you and your family to have the privacy that makes life so much simpler when different generations live close together. If that isn’t possible there are many homes for older people where meals can be served and where you can keep your car. You could spend weekends with your children but be close enough to help them or get help when it is needed. Louisa. Address letters: Louisa, Box 532. Orangeburg, S.C. 29115
