My mother, Pauline was pregnant that Christmas and after three girls we were thrilled to have Baby Preston join our family the next Christmas in 1960.
William Preston Williams lll made our family complete and was the best gift of all on Christmas 1960.

We moved into our home on Lenawee in Culver City in 1956, the year it was built and uncle Lyle spent every Christmas with us here, through 1967, the year he sold the Maybelline Company.
We moved to Newport Beach in 1969 and sold the house on Lenawee in 1971. Today, 56 years later it’s still the cutest house on the block and carries all the special memories of Christmas our childhood and the happiest years of our lives.

Unk Ile’s last Christmas with us in 1967. He had just sold the Maybelline Company to Plough Inc. and our lives were about to change forever.
