Communion Photo

James Brice Treme, and his older sister, Joy Evelyn Treme on communion day. The photograph was taken at Famous-Barr Company, which was a high-end store...a division of Macy's.

As I remember it, Famous-Barr wasn't very far from Grandpa's house in St. Louis. We visited him in St. Louis  every summer while I was growing up. Almost every trip included a stop at Famous-Barr for a present...a doll, a dress, always something special for me to bring home to New Orleans.
