Susan Page Carroll Asher was born in Baltimore, moved to Bel Air in high school. But once she married her late husband, Art Asher, they settled in their home in Havre de Grace, raised two children, and became an active part of our community. In this excerpt from her full-length audio, Sue talks about joining VISTA, the domestic Peace Corps. She mentions interesting items like her dad being the first to ‘ride in the nose cone of a missile’, a bit of history regarding the warehouse (beer distribution) on St. John St. and their building on the corner of N. Washington and Congress (where Asher’s Paint Store was),plus an interesting insight about the relationship between Art and the Dutch Boy (paints). And did you know that she and Art once owned a skipjack, the FIESTA! Listen to the podcast and follow along with the transcript if you like. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED (c)2016 Thriving Owl Publ.
