Durable dress
[Self-portrait and narrative by my mother]
Jerry continued to hone his cabinetry skills on this building. Such small amounts of space for complete apartments almost dictated built-ins, and they were the rage in the 1950s anyway. Here Jerry designed and built space for clothing in deep drawers and cupboards, while to the right he hid a chimney behind bookcases and shallow cupboards.
That summer I did some television modeling. Those were the early days of TV. A cameraman, a stylist, and a few models went slightly north of town to the posh farm of station owner Leonard Versluis. We were filmed in 16mm at picturesque locations around the farm wearing clothing purchased from Houseman's, a Grand Rapids clothing emporium. The store was too upscale for me, but I had the opportunity to buy garments I modeled in at a good discount. I couldn't resist this pale yellow two-piece. It served me well for several years and never did wear out.
