And While We're At It...

...Another birthday.



Doris Greed and her little sister Isabelle (aka Babs).

Today would have been my maternal grandmother's 102nd birthday.  And what a dear soul she was.  Born when King George V and Queen Mary ruled Britannia, three years before the outbreak of WWI, and seven years before the first handful of women were allowed to vote in the United Kingdom, she was a gentle, fascinating character and I loved her very much.  Here was a woman who could tell a story.  Everyone regrets that they did not write down or tape her conversations while there was still time to do so.  A library of information was lost when we lost her.

It might be a good idea to get another page started with some small biographies of the nearer relations than the ones I have been tracing here that I never had a chance to meet.  One day sooner than I care to think about, there will be no one to remember the nearer ones in detail either.
