Happy Anniversary Joel and Blake. The day did kind of slip up on me. Six years can go fast. Many, many more to you.

Love, Grumpy

And we, as well, have achieved antiquity by sheer perserverance!

Oh, my, Emily, we are _so_ fortunate to have Obama’s English in the White House.

I have degrees in English and have taught it as well, and I’m positive that there is no one alive who uses it perfectly. Language, after all, is living and changing.

I do hope that Obama’s usage doesn’t prevail here just because he’s president, because it is not the most widely accepted one.

Thank you dear daughter for such a nice Dad’s Day tribute. It was an honor to be included along with the other great Dads. I wish a Happy Dad’s Day also to Steve and Joel and I’ll add Tim too, though technically not a Dad. It was great to have you both for a visit very close to Father’s Day. Thank you.

Hi…. I’m delighted to find your genealogy entries, as I am a great-grandaughter of Emma Malinda Sullivan and have never seen a picture of her as a young woman.

i am not sure we’ve ever met. I’m the only child of Lorene Burchett Sumption, who was one of Nellie Richardson Burchett’s two daughters — Nellie being the only sister of Pearl. I do recall visiting Pearl several times when I was growing up, and visiting Elma a few times as well. Since I lived in Des Moines, I knew Lola best. Of course I heard of Barb and Patty, but don’t think we met. Now I live in Minneapolis, but I just returned from visiting Lamoni and Mt. Ayr over Memorial Day. I visited in Mt. Ayr with LaVon Thomas, now 96, last surviving child of Will Burchett and Mary Richardson Burchett, daughter of William and Ellen Richardson.

I am just beginning to gather up genealogical information to pass on to my children (two boys, Jeff and David) and two grandchildren (Emma, age 10, and Max, age 8). Is there some way I could get scans of your photos of Emma Sullivan, Pearl, and perhaps some of the other photos you might have? Do you have any photos of Andrew Richardson, or William & Ellen?

I would be delighted to correspond. Thank you for providing this information online.
