Thanks for that, first indications I had of Eleanor was in the article which was an interview with Virginia. The article mentioned that Eleanor died in 2002 was a resident of Germany. The only thing I notice is the discrepancy of birth dates for both Eleanor and Virginia at the bottom of your post. Eleanor was born in 1932 and Viriginia was born in 1935. I wonder how long Eleanor lived in WA state and where she worked? It is interesting that she was in WA state before moving back to KS.
