Francis & Helen Berry

When I moved out to Palo Alto in 1969, I knew several Xero people but the only others were my first cousin, Francis (Frank) Rigdon Berry, and his wife Helen. They had a very attractive home in Saratoga. They had adopted a daughter, Cindy. Frank had spent 

Frank was the older son of my mother’s older brother, Francis Rigdon Berry in New Rochelle, NY. A younger son was Albert, whom we called Freddy.

Frank and Helen were vey kind to me and I visited them several times. 

Cindy was a difficult child and left home as an older teenager and moved to San Francisco. She got into drugs and met an untimely end in a hotel fire there.
