After thirteen years of research it is like
a dream come true to know
everyone in the world will be able to enjoy and hopefully learn from
these old treasured photographs my grandmother, her mother, my father
and mother so lovingly saved.
The part of education to discipline me to want to write was gained in a
school supported by our government of the USA. The home where I
live was arranged for my family and myself due to the injuries of my
handicapped daughter and obtained through the generosity of the Osage
tribe.
"Freely I received, freely I give," and this with the
hopes these many descendants will be able to actually see a photograph
of their ancestor to know a little of their lives, their trials and how
they overcame them, that these descendants will be inspired to meet the
challenges of their own lives successfully.
Being
connected to our past is a feeling beyond compare. Before we
just heard the names but now the past is here. The
Brewers, The Collins, The Hunters and more. We never
knew them but now they are like family. When we
see them in print we think "Where have you been?" We want
to see you again and find out more about you. About
us I know, you won't have a clue,
Never-the-less it is alright you will one day as we'll see. All of
you coming over a hill, men, woman, children too. Folks
that we have never seen but felt like we knew. Being
connected to our past is a feeling beyond compare. Before we
just heard the names but now the past is here.
