Eva was my great-aunt and Anna was my grandmother, making Dora my great-grandmother. Grandma asked me to type this when I was a newly wed, visiting during the summer with my husband. We were in grad school at that time, and, if I kept a copy of the story it is long-lost with those old papers and tests. I knew I could once stop in and inquire about a copy of it, but life runs away with you! Interestingly, I have never seen the carpet bag, so it is lovely to see the vibrant colors that remain. I am fortunate that I had family members that treasured such items and well protected our family pictures. <br />Diane Brown-Steinerdee.bee.esshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06017244658365505986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8720768783335558263.post-89245312283802964492014-01-04T10:39:58.112-05:002014-01-04T10:39:58.112-05:00Very cool.
