We think grandparents are very important in reporting new babies, and great grandparents are doubly so. However, in writing about Gary and Twinkle Wilcox's new baby, because the great greatgrandmother did not live here, she was overlooked. We hasten to correct this oversight. Brandy Lynn's great great grandmother is Mrs. Ora Conlee. and she lives in Kadoka. S.D. and will be 101 years old on August 1. Twinkle's mother. Pat Ross, knew her grandmother very well until she was about 13. when the family moved from South Dakota Da-kota to Green River. This summer the Ross family is planning to make a trip back to see Mrs. Conlee. who lives alone, raises chickens, makes quilts and is very active. Congratulations to you. Mrs. Conlee--come and join our circle of Grand G reals! Receives Invitation. . .
