Alma Sitzenstock

From the Busse autograph collection.

We last met the lovely Alma on the occasion of her marriage to George Busselburg in November 1919. This signature dates to nearly 11 years before, when she was a schoolgirl of about 12 or 13.

Searching around the internet for this little poem, I find several variations on the third line, including "Remember the boy you kissed at the gate," and all those variations are from autograph albums. So it was an old reliable workhorse.
