A Passing: Margaret Milam McDermott

May 3, 2018 3:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

Back in the early 1900s young women were limited in their opportunities.

If they were what-would-eventually-be-called "middle class," they would attend school and/or get a job until they married a respectable … [Read more...] about A Passing: Margaret Milam McDermott

It’s That’s Time Of Year When All Sharing Ain’t Good

Dec 18, 2017 11:30 AM by Jeanne Prejean

Tis the season of giving and sharing…to a point.  Unfortunately, there appears to be a couple of peeps who aren’t in the right spirit. They’re “Flu Flory” and “Cold Cory.” No, they don’t have a Facebook page and post selfies. They’re kissing kin to Typhoid Mary.Speaking of which, they get around by doing cheek hugs, air kisses, warm handshakes, sneezes and croupy … [Read more...] about It’s That’s Time Of Year When All Sharing Ain’t Good
