No but Ma's aunt was. Sister Frances Leo. A real sweet heart.
She was a cook & a good one for being Irish.
A good lesson in immigration. Grand Pa had to sponsor her.
If she committed a crime or stopped working she would be sent back
at his expense. Way thing should be.
Swishy stick A.K.A switch was a thin green stem abt 3-4 ft long.
It could wrap around you & sting like hell.
Father was good with the belt. Knew just how to use it without
leaving a mark. I would take the belt any day.........
