A HAPPY AND BOUNTIFUL 2010 TO ALL...


WITH ONE VOICE

In the adorations and benedictions of the righteous

The praises of all the prophets are kneaded together.

All their praises are mingled into one stream,

All the vessels are emptied into one ewer,

Because He that is praised is, in fact only One

In this respect all religions are only one religion,

Because all praises are directed toward God's light
.

ANOTHER HISTORICAL DISCOVERY...

Mrs. Della Cate Brandon
Mother of Fred(see previous post) and his twin Ed

I was going thru some songbooks when I came across the songbook my Grandmother used when she would sing in church AND the local radio station's "The Joe Gunter Hour"...She could be seen on Sunday morning walking to town to sing on the radio.   Her favorite song to sing was "Where is My Wandering Boy Tonight?"
Not mentioned in the article was her love of sports.  She could be found at the local ball fields day and/or night enjoying the softball games and visiting with friends and neighbors.  She became a "regular". 
This picture was taken around 1963, she lived to be 89 years old.
