Today would be my mother’s one hundredth birthday. I’ve spent so much time and effort writing about my dad for my book about his war, but Mom was always a very important part of my life. Also known as Shirley Margaret Thorness (nee Snydal), Mom was born in Minot, North Dakota, the daughter of a fur trader. Sounds pioneer, doesn’t it? But the fur trade business continued into the middle of the 20
Beautiful tribute to your mom, Bill. I love the photos too. 🙂
