Musings of a Genealogy-Nut

 I am preparing for tonight's Life Book chat at Victorian Rose Designs at 9:00 PM EST.  Tonight's topic is "Education of your subject".  So in preparation, I went to my father's baby book.  What a blessing to have that book AND thanks to my grandmother for keeping such records.  The records told only part of the story.  I have graduation photos and diplomas to verify the records.  I will add the photos as I scan them.  The high school diploma and the college graduation class composite are so large and rolled so tightly for so long I don't even thing I can photograph them.
