Arnold and Newlin: Gainesville 1972

Newlin's sister Floreine Ashmore Marshall (later Floreine Langston, when she remarried) lived in Gainesville during the 1960s and came to the house countless times. Here she joins us in Westside Park, two blocks from our house on 11th Avenue.

Flo smoked in those years, and here she is sitting outside enjoying a cigarette with some birthday cake. But she quit smoking in the mid 1960s after the school system rolled out an anti-smoking campaign. We kids would see Aunt Flo smoking and ask if she knew that for every minute smoking it was a minute off her life.
