| Sue Sack-Ernst and Louise McCormick Trask around 1933 |
Our drive took us past a Whole Foods store, and I told Aunt Sue that Whole Foods was going to start delivering groceries. "When I was a girl, the grocery store always delivered our groceries," she told me.
We continued our drive down the "405," as she said, "Louise and I thought the grocery boy was very cute."
Sue Sack-Ernst was only one year older her niece Louise McCormick-Trask and the two of them grew up as playmates and companions in the Sack family home that was located on Tennyson Street in North Denver. The Sack family never owned a car and the local grocer would send a boy to deliver groceries to their house. Sue remembers that as teenagers both her and Louise thought that the grocery boy was very cute.
Sue told me that she and Louise would looked forward to the grocery deliveries, and a chance to talk to that delivery boy. "But," she said, "he thought Louise was cuter, and he liked her better." "Oh, so the grocery boy liked Louise better?" I asked. "Yes, he did, that's why he married her," she said. "You mean the grocery boy was Uncle Will!" "Yes," she said "He liked Louise, and they got married."
How often do we ask someone, "How did you meet?" I know that I like to hear those stories, and would love to hear more. If anyone would like to tell me their "how we met" stories, I would love to hear them. Aunt Sue has often asked my how my grandparents met, and sadly I don't know, it is another family mystery I would love to solve.
