McCartney Times

Louise Harrison-Caldwell, George Harrison’s elder sister, passed away on January 29, 2023. The only Beatle sister (although John had half-sisters), she served as an early door opener to America for George and the Beatles and was a nurturing presence in the Beatlemania era.Being 12 years older, Louise held baby George in her arms for the first time on February 25, 1943, and later shared the experience. “I spent about five minutes holding him. Most newborn babies look like a wrinkled old (soccer) football, but because he was overdue, he arrived with a complete set of eyelashes, long hair, and fully grown fingernails. He was beautiful with big brown eyes, and at ten and a half pounds he already looked like most babies do at three months.”She would move away from their Liverpool home to study child psychology in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and earn a teaching degree. She would soon meet and marry Gordon Caldwell, a Scottish mining engineering executive, and emigrate to Ontario in 1956. Their corporate journey would take the family (now including two children) to Peru, Missouri, and in 1963, to settle in Benton, Illinois.
