Curtis had resigned his position on the New York stock exchange at the end of 1932, but a few months later joined the Cotton Exchange, and then the Chicago Board of Trade dealing in stocks and grain. Newspaper articles at this time show that Anna, "Sistie" and "Buzzie" were frequent visitors at the White House where her parents had installed a playground on the south lawn for them.</td></tr></table> | Curtis had resigned his position on the New York stock exchange at the end of 1932, but a few months later joined the Cotton Exchange, and then the Chicago Board of Trade dealing in stocks and grain.
