What is your favorite memory of Grandma Gardner?

Favorite Memory - My Rook partner I knew her at a time when she was younger than when she was during the times most of you describe. She lived in 4 different homes in Afton when I was there. Kayleen stayed with Grandma much of the time when I was young so I visited with them often. During my high school years I remember many Rook games where I teamed up with Grandma. She was as good as anyone in the family. She was not yet 70 years old when I knew her best, and that seems pretty young these days. About the time I graduated from high school she went with Vern to Philadelphia. I moved from Afton and did not see her much after that time.

Every time I drive the road between Montpelier and Afton, I think of my first trip along that road. It was with Grandma, and she told me not to look down because it would be too frightening for me. Kendell


Does anybody remember the old 78 record grandma had recorded singing?? I remember listening to it but cannot remember the song. The quality was not so hot and it was very scratchy but mom had a copy of it and cried every time she played it. Most of you younger "kids" won't even remember the old 45 and 78 vinyl records. Joane
