Minnesota's Greatest Generation

Rose Marie taking Danny and Ricky trick-or-treating, 1956

Rose Marie Cousins was a stay-at-home mom. Her husband reported in the family's holiday letters that in her "spare" time, she liked to play bridge, was an active member of her Church Guild and the Women's Club, and a dedicated baker of cookies (Tom remembered her baking as many as 14 dozen cookies in one afternoon for her hungry brood).

Rose Marie also found time for fun with her children. She is shown here escorting Danny and Ricky trick-or-treating on Vincent Avenue South in Minneapolis.
