Five years in the care off different families found victory still brought problems to solve for the children who packed up and returned to their homes and former families; some of the older ones remained with their adopted families and moved on in pursuit of the new life, and the others, like Henry and Catherine who dealt with emotional adjustments from somewhere in between.Manylies, secrets, hurts, mistakes and traumatic turns were coming down the pike.

There is guilt among the parents who sent their children to safety. Fear from parents who chose for their families to remain in place for however long the war lasted. There was no one solution for all families, and the fate of Catherine, age 4 and Henry, age 9 is deeply wrapped in consequences of

Much has been written about this period, which began ten days after the invasion of the Nazis. There was an immediate list of tabus, churches closed, meetings of over three people, uses stopped, and all cars and radios burned. Many of the men were sent to prisons on surrounding islands.

Much has been written about the separation, but little has touched on the long-term effect for those families and their children. An additional consideration for Henry is that the teacher who was in their escape sent him on a train with boys to another location while she held on to the girl, and became her mother. Many lives were affected even more personally than they could expect when reunion of these families began.

2022 FALL FASHION Oklahoma City FRIDAY, Friday, September 23, 2022, Page 14
Charlet Sauls – Boutique One Just to mention a few trends – We love chain belts, dresses with high necks, detailed trims, luxury fabrics and statement leather. Bright colors were on the runways and are a great mood booster. Royal, purple, baby pink, burning reds, all shades of green and one of our favorites…camel! Blazers and jackets, oversized to micro to double-breasted, even the boyfriend style can be paired with denim, easy skirts or coordinating pants - in other words almost anything. Bold suiting is the most fashion-forward look you can adopt this season but keep it relaxed. Sequins and shiny things are not just for the holiday parties SO have fun and shine this season!
- Jennifer Clark
The fashion world has spoken and the must-have pattern for fall is plaid. Mix plaid with satin, silk or sequins to update the look. A timeless piece to own this fall is an oversized blazer and yes, it can be plaid. Pair it over a flowery dress, with a power suit or with jeans and a tee. Add character to any outfit with texture from a brilliantly-colored, fuzzy sweater. Turn heads even when the weather isn’t cooperating with a chicsilhouette trench coat. Our local experts in fashion have everything you need to look stunning this fall.

Ballet flats are also making a comeback this season. This year’s fall fashion also shows us that wardrobeelevatedclassics like button downs, neutral trousers, midi skirts and lightweight knits are here to stay. With so many swoon-worthy new arrivals and numerous trends to keep up with, it can be hard to decide what pieces to invest your money in. Vince’s Fall 2022
sionsmakescollectionthosedeci-mucheasier.
It’s the perfect balance of trendy and timeless.
Amber Kern – Rosegold The leaves are soon turning and the skies may be grey, but there will be nothing dreary about fashion this fall. Designers are embracing loads of color and throwing out notions of seasonal hues, with brights and pastels showing up everywhere. Mix and match sets remain a staple and fun jackets - bombers, blazers, coatigans and shacketsare a must have! Look for updated nods to the 90s, quirky retro prints and hints of western motifs as well.
try out these styles!
Cindi Shelby - Fall abounds with a wide variety of trends. One overall theme is that styles continue to be looser and have a more oversized look. There is a tremendous popularity of knitwear in all yarns, from softest, non-wool blends to the most luxurious cashmeres to fuzzy, chunky angora and mohair. Plaids, full menswear trousers and a huge assortment of inventive white shirts are all part of the urban preppy trend. Try the new Western or Americana trend, with fringe trims, denim and rustic belts. Floor grazing hemlines, ruffles and flowy fabrics also graced the runways for fall. There’s an incredibly vibrant group of colors for fall such as yellow, orange and Barbie pink, but also all the classic autumnal colors: brown, rust and olive. So, there is something for everyone and while it’s great to stick with what you know works best for your body and style, I encourage everyone to try something new and have fun with
