This is such outstanding writing. Did she write this with the goal of publishing it? Did your grandmother write professionally at any point in her life, or write anything else?
While I am glad you are publishing it here and sharing it with us, I can't help but wonder what would have happened to such a great piece of writing if the manuscript hadn't been entrusted to you.
Hi Lisa. Thank you for this comment. I have always thought my grandmother was a gifted writer as well. She did write a few college textbooks during her career as a business professor at Michigan State. But this was her first attempt at a memoir. I don’t believe she ever tried to publish it. But I have plans to pursue packaging it as a book for family members later this fall. I don’t know if there is a broader market for this type of writing, but am happy her memoir is now reaching a wider audience. I think she would be proud. 😊

She captured the twins' excitement at the sight. Loved the photo at the end.
