Hi Debbie, I just a little late in reading my email but I certainly am glad you got to back to Marietta. I love the town (where I was born and lived for several years). However, Kansas is quite a distance from there and it is very seldom that I have been back there in my late years. My husband recently past away and it is difficult for me to travel but I do hope to go back that way before too long. I also enjoy all the info you put on the email for us. Thanks for all you efforts.
