Remembrances
Dora was my brother in law Frank's mother, I live in West Virginia. Dora and her husband Theodore came to visit when I was about 9 or 10 yrs. old. I had so much fun with them, loved their northern accent. Being from a small community we would tell them who each and every person was that passed by. We had never heard our "creek" called crick before. They enjoyed us as much as we enjoyed them..my thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
