I'm researching Grandma Mayer's background, and it's taking me longer than expected. There's some information about Grandma being a descendant of one of the founders of Brown University, so I'm trying to verify that. Will keep you posted.Betty Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443600972141367467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12919842.post-56466822918242523422011-04-03T16:34:42.777-07:002011-04-03T16:34:42.777-07:00Hi Betty Jo- I suggest you self-publish with creat...Hi Betty Jo- I suggest you self-publish with createspace.com.

It's so nice to have such fond memories of your grandmother - who, like you, was a writer. <br /><br />If I were you, I'd start looking for Colorado publishers who publish books about the state's history. If you can't find a book publisher, maybe your local paper will be interested in printing her writings.<br /><br />Best of luck, Fran SilvermanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671452376625767923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12919842.post-76777581629394721142011-04-03T11:07:37.891-07:002011-04-03T11:07:37.891-07:00Ah yes, Grandma Mayer, a true pioneering spirit. ...Ah yes, Grandma Mayer, a true pioneering spirit. I remember days on the ranch which did not have electricity or running water and the huge Tom turkey that chased us into the outhouse! The sound of the cows on the porch at night and our riding horse, Dutch, who wouldn't stop once he got going and tried to bite whoever was getting on him. The Mayers were a great family and didn't hesitate to treat me, a step grandchild as one of their own. My time spent with them gave me a true understanding of the "Old West" and the ranching community. To this day, my heart is still with the animals and the land.Ruella Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04098693822198018611noreply@blogger.com
