Hi Vee and All, My 82 year old Mom and my 77 year old Dad would be brokenhearted if you discontinued the stories and I would. They can't wait for me to forward your latest story. My Mom has always told me about the trip to Washington that she made as a child. How she learned how to drive when she was 11. Those wonderful memories have never left her. And Route 66? My Dad has always had a fascination with that old two lane. He so much enjoyed hearing from someone who actually rode that highway way back when. My true memories of my Parker-Myers family is from the Thumb of Michigan but my imagination ran wild last summer when we visited during your reunion. I could visulize all of the historical events that surrounded my Parker and Myers ancestors and the hardships that they faced. Without your wonderful tales those memories would be just so much genealogy paperwork. Now my imagination is running wild about your Daddy in France. 1938? That's scary with the Third Reich just next door! I have visited France and it is a lovely country but I am sure it was different in 1938 than in 1985. Keep those wonderful tales coming! I can't wait to hear more about Paris! Jane in FL
