My mother and father have kept these journals and biographies tucked away in boxes for years. They weren't forgotten, but were rarely taken out and read. I felt it was important for other families and other generations to see them, so I typed them into the computer from the typed or copied pages. A few I found online and included here. Russ McMullin
