Also good to read that you were in Zion. I met a lady today at the 150th anniversary of my husband's home congregation. She and I both grew up in the Milwaukee-Racine area and traveled with our parents to Zion for oleo. Thanks for all your great postints and today for the memories you stirred.Kathy in WIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942236271798016480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5409545905735011881.post-87290116864795778242013-07-21T12:52:55.656-05:002013-07-21T12:52:55.656-05:00What a treasure find!What a treasure find!Quilts And Pieceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043640520513261597noreply@blogger.com
