April 19, 2024: This is my mother's story, as she wrote during 1995. Scanned in April 2024. I've also included many miscellaneous scanned old Creel photos as well as a few more of my Father.
I also transcribed this document to make it a little more legible and is now a much smaller file. PDF format.
These were framed family photos that my Sister, Joyce, had inherited from my folks. There are also several Certificates and such. I removed the frames for scanning purposes.
