I have been fascinated, since I was very young, with how I came to be where I am. As I noted on my website:

The Southern author Shirley Abbott wrote, "We all grow up with the weight of history on us. Our ancestors dwell in the attics of our brains as they do in the spiraling chains of knowledge hidden in every cell of our bodies." This is how I have felt since I was a young girl and why this work will never be finished.

I am those who came before - with some "me" added in.

All of the photos I have uploaded are copyrighted as they have been restored and/or enhanced from the originals. I am glad to share ~ just ask and I will send you a copy but please dont take without asking.

Also, please do not post photos of death certs. I will be glad to put info in the bios.
