Florence

(1993 July, Rueping memoir)
[Fred Rueping's] daughter Florence was sent to an expensive girls' school in the East.  Once when they had picked me up walking home from school (2 miles?), she asked me about one of my friends and then said, "So she's your side-kick, huh?" and was reproved by her mother, and she laughed.  I think my father had the Dance Hall built for her parties, but I can recall only one she had in that hall, with a small orchestra.
