Dear Marcia, my dad was born in the year 1916 in Billings,
Montana in a homesteaders shack. My eldest aunt was also
born out there in a shack. They ended up back in Minnesota
because the drought turned their parents' hopes to dust. Both are now
ninety years--they've seen a lot. I was in Billings once and
remember the wind cutting my face. You're tough to endure the
cold.(bet it encourages firing up those kilns) Take care-spring is just
around the corner. linda in ohio
