Mary,
I was at St. Joseph's in the early 50's. I was also a "poster boy" for the orphanage brochure at that time. I also had my older sister with me. Her name was Rose (Rosie) Mattox. We were there for about a year after my mom and dad divorced. I was very young (2-1/2), but I remember the nuns being particularly cruel. Thanks for info on the location of the records. I the building gone as well?
