I am bringing up some photos of times past for my family. I hope that others may also enjoy. A house on Tanya Court in Ellicott City, Maryland, was our home from January 1986 until January 2003. I have many happy memories of that place – especially remembrances and images of Christmastime. Outside Decorations at […]
Seventy-two summers ago I met Ann. I remember the first time I met her. It was the summer of 1948 and the location was St. Paul’s Methodist Church, Carolina Beach, North Carolina.
