at the University of
Colorado in Boulder. Priscilla,
my fiancee, was a reports clerk
at the telephone company. Here

CLARA McCARTHY’s first job after graduation in 1950 was at Western &
Southern Life Insurance Co. in Cincinnati, OH. She played third base for the
company-sponsored baseball team, at left squatting in front of sisters Betty and
Marian Hamlin, second row, and their sister-in-law Alma Hamlin. In 1953 , Betty
and Marian’s brother Frank Hamlin, now of Hernando, FL, came to watch. His
eye caught Clara at third and soon they were dating. Clara and Frank married
on Feb. 13 , 1954. Clara died earlier this year after a 64 -year marriage. •
