My mother left Mo and went to Ga where she met my father. He was in the Army at that time. They moved to Ill. where I was born, then on to Virginia, North Carolina and France then back to my mother's family home in Missouri. I lived on the family homeplace (it has been in the family for 100 years) until I married. I still live in Missouri about 25 miles from the family homeplace which my son now owns.
