And I think that Grandpa actually went by Ray most of the time (not sure about that. We'll have to ask your Grandma)<br />I love the way you wrote about the picture and the history of Grandma and Grandpa.<br /><br />And I also love "Oldwill"!! It's a very good name for that store!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16528169668377800367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38355899.post-16272262795905252292009-05-15T09:58:00.000-07:002009-05-15T09:58:00.000-07:00Great knowing the history of your family..I have o...Great knowing the history of your family..I have old pictures that were left to me when my mom died, pictures of her mother my grandma who I never knew, passed away almost 30 years before I was born. But I have her sisters address the last living sibling. She is almost 92 WOW! <br /><br />I think a smapler of the 4 countries would be a wonderful tribute to your familys history. <br /><br />Can you even imagine running through the land staking your claim. What were they feeling as that happened. Amazing is all I can think of.<br />NatashaNatasha https://www.blogger.com/profile/03615262314968664097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38355899.post-33706368047715286882009-05-14T14:11:00.000-07:002009-05-14T14:11:00.000-07:00Hello.
