Ruby Valentine Fox Smith, 1893-1977

Great Grandma Smith

Grandma Smith at Uncle Raymond's house, January 1974. I met Grandma once and don't remember much about it, but we have home movies of us sitting on Neenaw and Gran's couch. She had diabetes and Dad gave her her insulin shots when she visited us in Brookings.

Notice the picture of her two sweet little boys behind her.

My grandparents and parents moved from Eugene to Brookings this year.

Uncle John and me

I had to break this habit of sucking these two fingers before I started kindergarten - I remember being really worried about it

This would explain why my kids can never wake me up... I can sleep anywhere.
