Died 9/21/1989, in Milton, MA, age 91): "I would say it was about ten minutes of 10 that I...met Larry Taylor, who is a close friend of mine...and he told me that he had a party in the Melody Lounge..."

Surname (with her sister) misreported as Sumner (with an "n") in some news accounts. Surname spelling was correct on the final official November 1943 Boston Committee on Public Safety master list of casualties, but her first name was misspelled "Sallie" (with an "ie" at the end). Birth dates on era passenger lists appeared as "6/19/1910" in 1936 and '40, and "6/18/1909" in '39 (date used here was taken directly from New York City birth records).
