Note:
Received a letter from Jeanne Hinton thanking me for sending her some genealogy charts. She writes about visiting the farm of Fred and Daisy. "Quite often the Frank Kennon's and the Ralph Kennon's ended up there at the same time - 4th of July and birthday celebrations. Course the Fred Kennons were close by - so many kids we all got to take a blanket outside to sleep under the stars - no sleeping bags then. Your grandfather (Ralph Kennon) always brought many night fireworks. A big deal for all of us. Ask him if he remembers that. We all had to rest between 1 and 3 - then we were "at home" for the callers that came. A great place for grandchildren to visit a grandmother and an Aunt Edith. Aunt Edith was a special person - though she made terrible sugar cookies. She once gave me the book "Heidi", which I still have, and a lamb cake as my birthday is in March. I was so impressed.
