Mangham Book Event

Mama,Aunt Margie, Aunt Sue and I spoke to the Mangham Jr. High and Sr. High recently about our book. There was a lot of interest by the students and we all had such a wonderful time. Mama attended Mangham High from 1938 until graduation in 1944. Aunt Margie attended there from 1942 until 1951 and Aunt Sue from 1944 until 1952. We read from the book, then answered questions the students had. Aunt Margie told the students about some memories she had of attending school there. She also led a cheer for them against their arch rival, Rayville Hornets. What cheers and claps and whistles she received from the Mangham Dragons!

Rayville Book Event April 2, 2011

Mama and I were invited to have a book signing at Rayville recently at the first Antique Day. What fun we had that day meeting the people of that very nice little town in Northern Louisiana. We sold lots of books and enjoyed the quilt show and art display. The local people are very talented and very friendly. This town is very near the area where Mama grew up and talked about in our book.

Mama displayed two quilts and two of her lovely oil paintings. There were antique cars, a bike show and political speeches outside of the Civic Center. The weather was perfect and we had such a good time. Hope to make it again next year.
