Keywords: Tupper Lake, Saranac Lake.

Interviewed by Kayt Gochenaur 04/03/2018 at Elderwood of Uihlein.
​

Faith Johnson Day was born in Tupper Lake in 1930. Her father was a contractor, and she had 6 siblings. Her mother sewed most of her clothes, and she remembers seeing movies every Saturday for 10 or 12 cents. She worked as a telephone operator for the last few months of high school. She remembers many of the stores in downtown Tupper Lake, including several clothing stores, grocery stores, and pharmacies. Faith married Anthony Pastizzo and had two girls and two boys. She raised them between Saranac Lake, Ogdensburg, and Watertown. Faith and Anthony’s marriage eventually ended in divorce, and on June 24, 1973, she married Peter Day. Faith and her family lived for several years in England, because Peter was in the Air Force, and she remembers this experience fondly.​
