About the Project
I have been the unofficial family historian for about 20 years.
I take every opportunity to collect stories, pictures, and all of the papers that family members don't know what to do with.
I ended up with boxes of memories that belonged to my Grandma, Anna Marie Ramse nee. Reifers, and her mother, Zella Reifers nee. Daggett.
I have been sitting on them for a few years an thought that a fun and productive way to read through them, without getting overwhelmed, is to publish each page of Grandma's daily, 5 year, diary.
I'll be adding posts about other pieces of the collection, loosely based on the dates in the diary.
I am so excited to learn about and share the High School life a war-time farm-girl.
