Thanks, Jeff. Interesting coincidence that your grandmother and her six sisters all came to California as six of my grandma’s sisters came as well. Big families back in the day!
"Work. Family. Hope. Responsibility. Those aren’t bound by borders." Neither is love. Let's hold out hope for more of that in the world. Great post, Andrew!
What a neat story, Andrew! Thank you. I wonder what would have happened had grandma and dad ended their journey in Chicago instead of boarding the Santa Fe for the second leg of their journey.

Glad to hear that, Heidi! Good observation, too. Patience, and satisfaction with incremental progress, does seem undervalued in today's go-go culture.

It's so interesting to hear these stories of people on the move, Dana. It takes gumption to do what they (and you) did. Thanks for sharing!

I appreciate that, Dan. It’s fascinating: the journeys people take when the need arises!

Yes indeed, Jo. It’s my first post, although I’ve made a few comments over the years. Will do!
