I have received several memorials for Aunt Olive to be printed in the newsletter and have been notified that there are several others coming. I’m going to hold these and dedicate the January issue to her which is when she would have been 92 years old. If you have a memory of Aunt Olive that you’d like to share, please send it in as soon as you can. Thank You |
