And The Story Continues

Jane’s Notes: The next diary doesn’t start until 1931. At one point Mom started to write her life story, beginning with her parents’ history. I have transcribed that document and will fill in over the next weeks with sections of the story. I’ve also inherited all the letters between my father and his parents and between my parents once they met, plus some letters that Mom wrote to her father. Mom, June and Granny Powell (or Mama Powell to some in the family) stayed in Eugene during Mom’s freshman year living in that apartment. I do have some letters that she wrote to her Dad back in Manila. I have letters and diaries that stretch into 1938. So if you’ll stick with me, we’ve got another 8 years of reading to get through. I won’t be posting everyday, but will post on days that correspond to the literature I’ve inherited. Stay tuned, there’s lots more to this history, and yes Emily, I will write that book one day.
