Sisters Nola Hughes & Nora Blair Retire in 1959

I want to thank Cherryl Hughes Fikes for providing these scans.  Cherryl is the granddaughter of Nola Hughes.  I believe Buddy Blair has told me his mother Nora and Cherryl's grandmother Nola were twins.  Since they both retired in 1959, I think my recollection is correct.

As the articles state, Nola was a long-time Sugar Land telephone operator.  Mrs. Blair worked in Sugar Land's grocery stores for many years.  I'm not sure in which local newspaper these articles appeared.

 

Here is a picture of the sisters at the Industries retirement banquet with other '59 retirees.
