They are my brother Lee, my sisters Frances, Violet, Betty, Ruby, myself, and my younger brother, Robert. My parents, now deceased, were our father, Leo English, and our mother, Anna English.
As a child, I have always enjoyed hearing stories around the kitchen table from our father and other relatives. In high school, I enjoyed my journalism class and was able to help with the school paper and the school annuals. I also had a regular column in the local city's newspaper entitled "Topics under the Teepee." The school was and still is, I believe, the Montrose Indians.
Three years after I graduated from high school, I moved to beautiful West Virginia with my sister Ruby and my cousin Priscilla. There we continued our Bible-teaching activity as Jehovah's Witnesses.
Then on November 9, 1968, I married my husband, Kenneth Purvis. Shortly after we were married, we continued our career in the full-time Bible-teaching work as Jehovah's Witnesses. Twenty-six of those years we spent in the traveling ministry. Today we are still enjoying and absorbed in helping people get the most out of there Bible studies.
For the past thirty years, I have been collecting my stories and hope you will enjoy them as much as I have had in witnessing and in experiencing them.
I sum them up by saying they will bring a smile to your face, a tear to your eye, and warm the cockles of your heart, and they definitely reflect a love for animals!view less
