  • Editor’s Notes
    This project has given me a review of my family history, my Mom’s life, and my own childhood. I’ve encountered stories I never knew, stories I had heard but forgotten, and stories I remembered, but with less detail. Some of the stories have caused me to wonder about what exactly happened, what a particular description meant, why a particular word was chosen. These notes are by no means necessary for understanding and enjoying my Mom’s accounts. Rather, they contain my reflections and perspectives, as I might relate them to a friend who had just read the relevant chapters.
