I am so thankful that I was "lucky" enough to be born in an age where there were cars, not horses and stagecoaches, for transportation; tractors, instead of horse drawn plows, for tilling the fields; and refrigerators instead of ice boxes for food preservation. I am proud of my heritage and truly appreciate the harsh conditions and tough years experienced by my ancestors. I am also grateful that I was "lucky" enough to marry such a loving man and meet, work with, and socialize with so many unique, interesting and successful people. As it has been said, "This one is for you."
