A few more things

A few more things about The Little Mother, as Barbara aptly called my greatgrandmother (mother's father's mother).

She marched in two May Day parades (in New York) at the age(s) of 77 and 78.

My mom adored her because The Little Mother told her stories and sang to her. (The voice gene was from her side; it went to my grandpa, my mom and to a lesser extent, me.)
