Charley, Marion and Mrs. Strathearn
visiting in North Virginia around 1985. Top row left to right: Charley
Strathearn,
Carl Fetter, Bill Ray, and daughter Linda. Bottom left to right, Marion
Strathearn,
Mrs. Strathearn, Gertrude Fetter. The Strathearns lived on Garland
Court between Everett and Devon Avenues. They had what could be the largest tree in
Gerritsen Beach in their yard. Charlie was married to Marion. He also had a sister named
Edie and a brother whose name I can't remember. Charlie I believe was very active in St.
James. Something tells me it was a money-related responsibility. Charlie's mom, "Mrs.
Strathearn," lived to be 90+ years old. Charlie used to work for Morton Salt
as a salesman. He drove a vehicle with the Morton logo on it for years. Another
story is that Mrs. Strathearn was a midwife. (Courtesy Jim
