We played softball together and my family often went camping with hers. I have fond memories of those days and Bernard and Nellie. I love your story!

I loved reading this because I relate to many of the experiences and feelings you share here. I have always felt so disconnected to the heritage I never learned about. My mom sent me this article and I really appreciate the work that you have done. Thanks!
