"Deep are these roots, inescapable, restorative. I thought about how life had gone on, generation after generation. Perhaps the past is really never gone, but always a part of the present. Lingering there in the quietness, I gather up the people, the places, the little fragments of another time." [Helen Thames Raley] (Pictured: My paternal grandfather, great-uncle, great-aunt and their school chums.)
