IN a cool corner of roof garden the
other night was James Conner Roach
actor, playwright, wit and raconteur
Ihey had been discussing wealth and
what it meant to be man of millions.
when Roach said:
Now, how many of us here tonight
know what a million dollars really
means? How many people in general
know?
Some think of million as a check

one cured the babies of the croup.
In measles she arose
ne sieepless watcher of the night
" nile others found repose
'He made the dresses for the brides
VINO went from out the door:
FOR them she robbed the f1owerheds
VI all their precious store
An: years ago she came to earth
WI men breezes all attune
'eht nerr1ly a-down the path
vi fragrant ways of June
ihey called her June" she was so
sweet 81
I'm, ana crowned her golden head.
IT. nalheu her June in days aGone
Inc month when brides are we'd
beside the stream whose wa ers cool
sung peacefully of rest
ms patient little spinster walked
Alone and unmoest
Now lilies nod and daisies bend
10 Kiss the grave of this
~ fashioned spinster who has found
more love than earthly bliss
mere children tread the gravel path
When breezes are attune
ma whisper soft as zephys are.
This Is our Auntie June"
