Foster Family Home

Here follows an excerpt from the "Rose Hill Originals" article written by Mary Dulaney and published on the Rose Hill Civic Association website:

My family bought a house on Apple Tree Drive in 1955 or 1956. I was born in Georgetown Hospital in May of 1956. The house numbers were changed in 1965 and I don't remember the "new" number, only the old house number we had originally, 3618. Perhaps one of the Rose Hill Originals would know how to translate the numbers. I can certainly point the house out on the map! (The house is now 4519 Apple Tree Drive)

My parents were Neale and Ruth Foster; my sister was Ruth Ann. Rose Hill was a great place to grow up. There were lots of kids to play with. My sister graduated from Edison High in 1965. My dad worked for the government and was transferred to Florida. We had to leave Rose Hill in June of 1965 and life was never the same. We all wish we had never left. Those were the "Golden Years" for us. I still think about our house, our neighbors, and wonder what happened to all those people. I'm sending a few photos, and you may use any of them you wish. The one of my mother and I is one of my favorites because I remember that view so well. We had a big picture window in the living room and I would watch the seasons change in the woods across the way.

I certainly enjoyed the Rose Hill Civic Association Web Site! It was like going home again! — Mary P. (Foster) Delaney
