<p>Uploaded a work by Morsberger Family Photo from John Roby Morsberger with UploadWizard</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>=={{int:filedesc}}==<br /> {{Information<br /> |description={{en|1=Here&#039;s a photo of (from left) Maryland State House of Delegates member Joe Payne, his wife Mary, Audrey Baker, Tom? and Goldie Baker. Audrey was a sister of famed New York Times columnist and writer Russell Baker, in whose book &#039;Growing Up&#039;, he mentioned his fascination and love of Brunswick as a child.<br /> <br /> Russell and his sisters, Doris and Audrey, were born in Loudoun County, Virginia. When Russell was just 5 years old, and Doris 3, their father, Benny Baker, died. Russell&#039;s mother, Lucy Elizabeth (Robinson) Baker, took Russell and Doris to live in New Jersey. Sister Audrey, less than one year old, went to live with her father&#039;s brother Tom Baker and wife, Goldie (Fry) on West B Street in Brunswick. <br /> In &#039;Growing Up&#039;, Russell described his 6-year-old sister Audrey like this on a visit after a five-year separation: &quot;Reports from Brunswick had it that Uncle Tom and Aunt Goldie treated Audrey like a princess, dressed her in clothes from the finest stores in Washington, kept her perpetually scrubbed and so thoroughly combed that she dazzled the eyes. It was said that Audrey even owned a fur coat to protect her from cold weather. ... the most spectacular vision of elegance ... ever seen outside a movie palace. ... Audrey’s serene blond beauty, dazzling dimpled smile, and splendid dress and coat and shoes ...&quot; <br /> <br /> Audrey graduated in the Brunswick High School Class of 1945 at just 15 years old. <br /> <br /> (Photo and information courtesy of John Roby Morsberger)}}<br /> |date=2023-06-27<br /> |source=John Roby Morsberger<br /> |author=Morsberger Family Photo<br /> |permission=<br /> |other versions=<br /> }}<br /> <br /> =={{int:license-header}}==<br /> {{subst:uwl}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Smoketown People]]</div>
