Thanks, Mart. I will be posting the story of Mom's name soon, stay tuned. Sorry to be mysterious but I am going to be talking about it at the memorial on Saturday.

I plan to have my Mom's wedding album at the memorial gathering on Saturday. I had an email from one of her best friends who was at the wedding in Liverpool in 1945. After following my parents and I to the US, she and her husband lived in D.C. for a number of years before they retired and went back to the UK to live. She now lives near Harrogate, Yorkshire. I plan to read out her message as well another kind note of sympathy from the daughter of another close childhood friend who is still alive. The story of the latter lady, Ida, is that my Mom and Ida were sweet peas together among school children at a pageant for the opening of the Mersey Tunnel by King George V and Queen Mary in 1934.
