Entries-Hester Stroop

I'm back! I'm so sorry I've been amiss about continuing with this blog. Hopefully, I will get the memories finished soon. Here is Hester's page.

Entries-Clyde Stroop

Sorry it's taken so long. However, here are all of the memory entries for Clyde. He was the oldest and seemed to be the one who inherited most of Tainaw's Irish genes! I didn't know that he and Hayes knew how to fly, nor that Clyde had his own plane! Love learning these new things about my family.

Final entries-Maggie Stroop

The last entries for Maggie are from two of her grandchildren, Bobbie Ann and Willard. 

I find it interesting that I have only had one comment by a family member. Even if you don't have a memory to add to people's pages, please comment here on the posting page as to whether or not you have enjoyed these pages. I would appreciate it.

The next pages I will do are for the children of Hayes and Maggie.

New entries-Maggie Stroop

Just added memories from Hayes, Violet, Bertie and Doris for Maggie. Doris is my mother and it is so wonderful to learn new things about her...I didn't know she loved onion sandwiches and Limburger cheese sandwiches!

First entries-Maggie Stroop

Today I added entries from Clyde, Hester and Ethel for Maggie. It is so wonderful to read these memories of Hayes and Maggie! I was so young when I was around them that I don't remember a whole lot so these memories give me more of a sense of who they were. I am going to transcribe Pap-Pap's 1914 eight-page letter to Tainaw from Panama and add it to his page, sometime in the near future.

Intro to Maggie Stroop

Today I began Maggie's page. You can click on any image to make it larger. I don't seem to have photos of Maggie or Hayes in their younger days. Anyone have any they would be willing to share?

Final entries-RBH Stroop

Have added the final entries for RBH. These were from his last three children - Violet, Bertie and Doris - and two of his grandchildren - Bobbie Ann (Violet's daughter) and Willard (Hester's son). The next page of memories will be for Maggie.

I was talking to Bobbie Ann last night and she verified that Violet was the one who put together this project and typed up everyone's memories. So, although the words were from each person's heart, the spacing and such were from Violet.

Thank you, dear Aunt Vi, for thinking of the project and putting it all together. Love the stories!
