I just smile and doubt that these stories are true. I mean, how can she claim to have been a deprived child of the Depression yet she was a terrific baseball and basketball athlete, and she canoed and rode horses? Such a tragic childhood!stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-4524949619792269432016-08-23T11:43:47.695-04:002016-08-23T11:43:47.695-04:00This has to be one of my favorite posts yet here. ...This has to be one of my favorite posts yet here.
