Atlanta, Ga., May 27—A wflite-
headed brother and sister, nearing
70, are enjoying long-winded gab-
fests these days. After 46 years,
they are together again and they
have “so many, many things’’ to
talk about.
Mrs. A. Downing, 69, who left
Atlanta 52 years ago as a bride,
came from California to be with
her brother, 6S-year-old M. J. Ham-
brie, of 327 McAfee Street, N. W.
A few days ago, this tale was
even more heart-warming as an
other sister, Mrs. Minnie Huggins,
72, came to Atlanta from her home
at Thomaston. It had been 48 years
since she had seen Tier only sister.
She waited—"impatiently"—with
her equally excited brother for their
sister’s train to come in.
Mr. Hambric shyly admitted he
didn’t recognize his sister when she
and her husband stepped off the
train. “After all, she was only 23
the last time I saw her,” he ex
plained. But Mrs. Downing the mo
ther of 12 living children (she’ll
tell you proudly*, says she “knew”
her brother and sister immediately.
The Downings’ trip here is a
fiftieth wedding anniversary cele
bration, which was delayed some
what by the war.
The elderly couple, who love to
travel, leave here the latter part ot
June, if they are assured they have
"caught up” on all the goings on
and doings of Mrs. Downing’s sis
ter and brother.
