I was looking through old pictures yesterday with my mother Grace Townsend Lowber who is 93 years old and living in assisted living. I wanted to identify the people in the pictures, and Mom and I had a good time looking through them. There are several pictures of her in uniform, she was a WAC in WWII, and a couple with another WAC. She said this was Anne Watters, her best friend in the Army, from Brooklyn. She said Anne had become a police officer, and was very proud of her family's tradition of serving in the police force. On a whim I googled Anne's name, and have found this tribute to her and her life. Mom has lived in Washington State for the last 62 years, and I am not sure when she lost contact with her friend Anne, but I am looking forward to showing her this later today. I am very sorry for your loss, but it looks like Anne had a good life surrounded by a large and loving family. I wish you all well.
Sincerely,
