I gave Granny a self-autobiography book in 1998. I wanted her to fill it out so there would be a record of who she was and future generations might know what an interesting person she was. She was reluctant to write in it, but she did make an effort over the years. She never let me read it while she was alive, but it came back to me when she passed away in 2008. I am creating this book now so that the rest of the family can enjoy the stories of Marion's early life, in her own words.
