ON HOLD

This Project is sort of on hold until I get settled - somewhere!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY GRANDMOTHER

My grandmother, Mabel Anna Johnson was born March 15th 1889. Died March 9, 1976. In some ways, I feel as though I didn't know much about her. However, she was a big influence on me, she was probably one of my biggest supporters throughout my life. So today, I'd like to honor her by setting up this blog - it's going to be about our family - letters from her, to her, from my dad, from my Uncle Al, and my Aunt Mary, and letters to my mom during WWII. It's about trying to reconnect with some family.
