She is one of my heroes, astute and articulate, with a touch of feistiness that I hope some day to emulate.histrygrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17602393523539327100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3623573627240894381.post-31742924939780780112011-05-19T09:16:51.159-07:002011-05-19T09:16:51.159-07:00Thanks loads, Jamie.

A very gracious lady who shared with me some of the Douglas County history she was working on.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567321690753801524noreply@blogger.com
