      Foreword

      Dear Family,

      When Grandma lived with us in 1996, we asked her to write her memories. The last time we visited her in Stigler (July 2001), she handed us this treasure. It is too valuable to keep it to ourselves. We hope you will treasure it as we do.

      We love you all,

      Janice & David Ledford
