Bad Susie And Bad Janet

My sister Susan was waxing nostalgic the other day about her time living on East 85th Place on Chicago's South Side, where she (on the left in the attached photograph) and her friend Janet (on the right) ruled the neighborhood. Susan and my mother Mary lived there with my grandparents while my father was in the army during World War II.  Back then Susan and Janet were known as Bad Susie and Bad Janet, and would sometimes decide to take off their clothes and run around the block, prompting frantic phone calls to my Grandmother Spillard. In point of fact, they were ahead of their time - the world's first streakers.  A landmark achievement indeed.
