I guess the challenge is to instill that wonder in those in our family who make up those next generations. They are the standard-bearers for our families' stories, but they won't be effective in assuming their role without sharing that same sense of wonder as we have. Here's hoping we can find a way to share that sense of wonder with them.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-40032539303727470092018-01-20T19:18:49.635-08:002018-01-20T19:18:49.635-08:00Thanks, Miss Merry!

It turned into a treasure trove with some labelled pictures, and most importantly, a very old letter from one brother to another that allowed me to verify relationships. Happy dance that day!Jackie Corriganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13590243213239049149noreply@blogger.com
