He didn't know my Grandma was going to have another child. He didn't know my Mother was born until she was 9 months old and then he threatened to put Mom there. I have this in my Grandma's handwriting and she hid her for awhile. He took off and no one in the family seems to know where he went. I have him dead in Denver but of course I can't prove that. The youngest sister's adoption papers have her down as abanded. Thelma [email protected] Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
