• Notes

  Hello Pat, I do hope that my test email not bouncing back is a sign that this is still a valid email for you. My name is Annie (Antoinette) Haste & I am Maxine Haste's granddaughter. We spoke many years ago, but I failed to keep in touch (which I deeply regret). Recently, I moved from Texas to Seattle Washington and discovered the letter which you so generously sent to me in December 1999. It included the only photo's of Maxine in her youth (let alone any members of the Chambers clan) that I had ever seen and a wonderful letter. Shortly, after our brief communication, my family went through several changes and I moved out of my parents home. It was at this point that I misplaced your contact information and honestly was so wrapped in school and work that I kept putting off getting in touch with you until I felt much guilty about the length of time that had passed and that you might be angry with me for not getting back in touch (not much maturity I'm afraid). I also deeply regret that I must be the bearer of some bad news. Although, Maxine was able to live with my family for a year following the death of my grandfather, she did pass away some time ago (2001-I believe). I will have to ask my mother for the exact date. Per her request, there was no ceremony and she was cremated (the wanted their remains to be spread over Haste Ranch in WY). Unfortunately, throughout her life (this is what I have been able to piece together from my father and some of my cousins) she suffered greatly from depression and paranoia. This is what I believe led to her severing ties with her closest family members. And thus explains why she never wanted to discuss her past, prior to meeting my grandfather. I want to assure you, though, that my mother (Lynn Haste) & I were able to care for her right up until she had to be hospitalized following a stroke. It was my great privilege to get to know her before her death. There were times when she was the wittiest, most charming woman I have ever met. She never spoke of her childhood, unfortunately. So if not for you, I would know next to nothing. I would be happy to send you photos of her from the time that she lived with us and one I recently discovered among some old papers of her in her late teens to early 20's that is lovely. Thanks so much for your time. Please forgive my terrible breach of faith. I hope you and yours are well. Sincerely, Annie Haste 14611 Admiralty Way Apt. A-203 Lynnwood, WA 98087
