Helping others discover their roots
“There are two lasting bequests we can give our children: One is roots, the other is wings.” Teaching children values and giving them the opportunity to excel is essential to good parenting.

lol….wouldn’t that be something? The towns were less than 20 miles apart, and the time frame is about right. Who knows maybe they tossed back some ale and laughed about their names!
