Marion Rich, my great grandfather, bred gladiolus for a living, grew up in Marion, New York and lived on Marion Avenue. I just found this account in the Marion Enterprise/1956.

My parents prairie.

A found note from the Hexagon.

3. I swear like a sailor and miss the sea.

4. I've been misplaced>> I should have been born Scandinavian.

5. I'm related to Pocahontas.

6. I don't like chocolate and coffee but I enjoy teaparties.

Deadlines prompt productivity. Construction on my upstairs begins on Monday so I'm sorting and tossing and did a little scanning. During the process, I found a minipicture of my design instructor——George LaRou. Biggest crush ever !! That's him on the bottom right.

The collection came too easy, but OMG these gems are tasty! so lovely——I can't quite get over it! I will be sorting this weekend.
