Thoughts and stories, by Pal

Hello, dear readers!  February 16, 2020. It has been too long since I've written a new blog, and I'm going to try and change!  My excuse -- I began serving 2 shifts a week, on Wednesdays, and Fridays in the Layton FamilySearch Center, just about 15 miles north of where I live in West Bountiful.   My mother, Ruth Allen Miles, in college, in the 1920's.
