We are so happy to hear from you! The sketch within this post is at the frame shop for you, and we have some other gifts as well, all waiting to be shipped to Ireland once the drawing is framed. Please drop me an email so that we can be in touch privately- info@georgerodrigue.com . My friend Emer Ferguson has a sister who lives in your area, and she would like to contact you too. The words 'thank you' do not seem adequate for the gift you have given us. Congratulations on your marriage!

We have a new book coming out this fall, and Grandma Helen appears in a 1950s photograph as Grand Matron of the Eastern Star.<br /><br />Thank you so much for writing in.

I have not read the entire blog yet, but have really enjoyed reading many posts and clicking on many links! I love seeing the pictures of Aunt Helen. I remember her visiting my grandmother Cassie Cannon many times and hearing stories about you and Heather and Mignon. You and I are very close in age, so I was always interested in hearing about you! My husband Brian and I visited your grandmother in her home in Gretna. I am enjoying reading about your life and our shared roots! <br /><br />Jennifer Taylor Jolin<br /><br />P.S. My son Thomas is now 11. We read "Why is Blue Dog Blue?" many, many, many times!!!!Jennifer Jolinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17071683739199035199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079877794128349006.post-68205989780118150592013-08-12T20:15:05.384-05:002013-08-12T20:15:05.384-05:00Thank you, Karen!
