Jesus and Mary


These two figurines have held a dominant place in my home, usually on a home alter, since I received them as a gift. That was when I was 10 years old, so these figurines are 52 now!

They were made for me by Beverly Pearson, who is about 3 years older than I am, in 1956. I don’t know if she was taking a class in school (‘art’ used to be a part of the schools then), or if someone taught her. They say ‘Holland Mold’ on their bottoms.

Beverly is the only daughter of Betty Ford, one of my Mom’s (Aldine Bush), best friends, so Beverly and I spent a lot of time together.
