Letter: Scents call to mind a grand lady, the Hotel Lyon
To the editor:
It’s been more than 40 years but my memories of Hotel Lyon are still as vivid as if it were yesterday.
My grandparents ran the hotel from the mid-1920’s to 1933.
My older sisters were in school and mom had her hands full with two-year-old twins and a new baby. I was a typical active four-year-old. I spent a lot of time with my grandparents at the hotel.
I can still hear grandma scolding me for running in the halls.
Have you ever noticed how different smells bring back memories?
