Frances Louise (Hartt) Mitchell

My Aunt Louise had a special connection with my mom, Catherine (Kay).  They had a "camp" near the summer headquarter's at Hahn's Peak called Kay-Lou camp.  When I was born, mom gave me the name Louise as a middle name after my Aunt Lou.  I recall staying with Aunt Lou frequently as a kid when we would come to Denver.

Rough Landing?  Above is an early photo taken near Hahn's Peak.  From L to R - Lou, Grandma Spragg (Minnie Pearl's mother) and Marge.
