Lois Adele Breaker (Thomas) Gettler was a Harpist.
She was born in 1926 and as far as anyone can
remember, the harp was bought for her around 1936 when she was 10 years of age.
Lois studied with Mildred Milligan, a well known harpist and
teacher in the Houston
area for many years. Her playing brought
much pleasure to her listeners during her performances, both privately and professionally.
1926 ~ 2009
To her children, she was "Mama", to the rest of us, "Grandma Lois."
Our research leads us to believe it’s a Wurlitzer Grand Harp, Model CC.
They are both beautiful!
