After thirteen years of research it is like a dream come true to know
everyone in the world will be able to enjoy and hopefully learn from
these old treasured photographs my grandmother, her mother, my father and mother so lovingly saved.

The part of education to discipline me to want to write was gained in a school supported by our government of the USA.  The home where I live was arranged for my family and myself due to the injuries of my handicapped daughter and obtained through the generosity of the Osage tribe.

"Freely I received, freely I give,"  and this with the hopes these many descendants will be able to actually see a photograph of their ancestor to know a little of their lives, their trials and how they overcame them, that these descendants will be inspired to meet the challenges of their own lives successfully.
