How great that remaining dear ones have a ‘time’ together, sharing special deeds and thoughts of those who’ve passed on. At one ‘gathering’, friends and family shared about their special ‘Ms. B.’; what she’d meant to them, all she’d shared, quilts she’d made for family, friends and even several she’d sent to an orphanage. On and on they chatted when suddenly there was a pause of silence and elderly ‘Uncle Al’ loudly sai...

Upon entering I went over to him and asked if he were Mr. Putnam. He replied that he was, so I introduced myself and stated my business. He was quite a large man and I quickly learned that he had a bad speech impediment, which I ignored. He sat down heavily in an office chair and placing his elbows on the arms of the chair, with fingers interlaced, he looked at me for several minutes without saying anything. I became frightened and wished I could run out of the place; I wished someone else had been the committee of one. Finally, he began to...

This group consisted of women who were interested in the affairs of the community, as well as in their efforts to advance their own personalities and education. I was a stranger in a strange town; I knew very few people and d...
