You have some great hints for me. My grandmother's name was Kathryn veronica Smith. It's interesting since many women used their maiden name initial when monograming, but as I recall, my grandmother always had KVL, not KSL, on her clothes. I am told her name was spelled that way, since her father was German. I appreciate your help. Thank you. Lessie Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
