My First Ninety Years
()
About this ebook
The author gives us an opportunity to experience some of the more memorable moments in her long, rich life. First, as a child growing up in a small town in Kansas during the Depression, later as one of the fortunate young women who went to college during that time, and then as the wife of a very successful Presbyterian minister for 50 years.

I just celebrated my 90th birthday, and I am attempting to provide some details of my family's history for our grandchildren, great grandchildren, and future generations.
