What a beautiful ...Your cards are always gorgeous. What a beautiful family history you've shared here -- love all the photos -- such an extensive family. It's a crying shame that they tore down the theater just to build a motor lodge. What happened to preserving the past? My Mammaw's name was Estelle and I miss her dearly even after more than 20 years of her being gone. I always wanted to be a singer and my aunt offered to pay for me to have singing lessons. I was always in honor chorus at school and went to competitions. My kids seem to think I don't know how to sing though. HA! Have a great day Julie!
