Bio

I have been in the hospitality industry (food and travel) for 25+ plus years. Right now, while my wings are clipped, I am working on my genealogy and collecting family stories and ephemera.
Currenty, I am researching is seeing if I can move a 97-year-old casket/headstone of a two-year-old child, from Twin Falls, Idaho to Helena, Montana. My uncle died in a gas lantern explosion when he was two. My grandmother and 13-month old mother were also badly burned. My grandmother never got over it. I think she had but one blurry little black and white photo of him, and had it reproduced, painted and hand-tinted into little prints. I found them throughout her belongings. Gram is buried in Helena with her other three kids and I think it would do her spirit good to have baby Jimmy there, with them.
