Today I continue my quest in creating and posting one block a day of the fabulous That Town And Country Quilt by the lovely Susan Claire. This is day seventy of that project.

The Bailey Building & Loan had existed for generations, ever since George stayed and took over the bank when his father passed away.

Pete’s daughter, George’s granddaughter, Meg, runs the Bailey Building & Loan now. It’s grown, and so has George and Mary’s family. Pete, of course, took over the bank from his dad.

Meg started working as a teller summers and then, after a business degree, came back to work with her father until he retired in 2000. Meg’s son Michael works in the bank now with Meg.

Pete has another daughter, Adrian. Adrian married and worked in the town library. She had twin girls. Both have since moved to California and live on a farm raising kids and organic produce.

Janie married a man in Italy after studying fashion design there. They never had any children.

Zuzu became a first-grade teacher. Her husband was a professor at the college she attended. Her son Carl is an elementary principal.

Tommy was a very successful architect. He and his lifetime partner Robert share a loft in New York now that they have retired.

I’ll bet you always wondered what happened to those kids.

(Just kidding)
