60-something years later - putting in touch
#1

Imagine my surprise when I saw the following Guest Book entry this morning:

 

" Scraping off mud from our boots - Carentan, France - 1944....I was pleased to see my mother in that picture. Her name was Emilie Jane Proctor and was from Spokane, WA, trained at Sacred Heart Hospital. I am collecting stories and pictures for a memorial scrapbook in her honor." Marlis Wilson

 

So I quickly jotted off a note to both Marlis and Gretchen, and introduced them to each other. What a thrill to be able to do this 60-something years later. Can't wait to hear what transpires between them.

 

Here is the page she is referring to:

Great way to start my morning!
