Author's Bio -
After
graduating from high school, I started working as a civil servant
for the Air Force as a clerk stenographer. I moved around to various
offices, got promotions here and there and ended my career in 1995
when I retired as a logistics manager.
I met the man I was destined to marry on a blind date just before he
left for two years of Navy Reserve active duty in Virginia. Our
romance was mostly by mail and when he returned, we married and have
one child – son Craig. We were married two months short of 41 years
when he passed away.
I was never really interested in my family history until about 1995.
Naturally most of the people who could answer critical questions and
make things easier were already gone. My sister-in-law who is very
interested in genealogy, and had nearly completed her maternal
ancestry charts when she asked me to complete some family group
sheets for my side of the family ... and there the story
begins.
I knew my great grandparents’ names
but nothing else abut them. I became obsessed with learning all I
could about my family and my late husband’s family to pass on to our
son. I have never tired of searching for more and am truly “living
in the past lane”.
I have these pictures of my cats to
share.
