  • Notes 
    • Grandma was a football cheerleader one season.

      When she was about 10 years old she played sandlot baseball. She had a boyfriend who was usually captain and he'd say, "I'll take her." She was the only girl that played - she loved sports all her life.

      She and "Sadie" were the only two in her class the first few years in school - just two in her grade. A one room school house with 8 grades. Up front to the recitation bench for class, back in the room for studying. 3 or 4 kids in each grade. She was in the first grade, 6 years old, when mother died. Dad remarried and her mother's mother adopted the kids.
