They had to be strong and determined to get through what they faced... and we, their descendants,benefit from their strength. Ann spoke to my guild several years ago. I was amazed to hear her stories of her mother, Marjorie. If I remember correctly, Marjorie lived in a small town and attended the local Methodist church, of which my family has many ties... my grandfather was a minister there for a while, and then he and my grandmother retired in that small town. They may have known Marjorie, although Ann did not recognize the names.... still, I like to think that they did know each other. My grandmother was well liked, and perhaps she and Marjorie were friends! I am planning to buy Ann's book soon.Carol E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02741550863747328734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682469280580377915.post-71740407375463151362007-08-23T04:52:00.000-05:002007-08-23T04:52:00.000-05:00Finn, You are the one who got this particular trai...Finn, You are the one who got this particular train on the tracks and up and rolling.
