Ethan, my Mama's maiden name was Martha Ann Davenport (Marty). She passed away in February, 2006 at the age of 85 (September 21, 1920 - February 24, 2006). She was a wonderful Mommy like yours... she REALLY loved me and I REALLY miss her. For the last 7 years of her life we talked on the phone at least once every day. We got to be very good friends. I lived with her in Oklahoma City and took care of her the last 2 1/2 years of her life so she wouldn't have to go into a nursing home. Being her caregiver was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. People would say to me, "Dave, you'll look back and you'll be so glad you took care of your Mama." I'd reply... "You don't understand, I'm right smack dab in the middle of a BLESSING and I know it!"
I'll tell you more about Marty in another post but I thought you'd like to see and hear two songs from her era. This is a video clip of the Ross Sisters... MAN are they athletic and FLEXIBLE:
These are the Andrew Sisters singing a song with a real catchy beat... they were very popular during World War II (1941 - 1945):
I love you, Ethan,
Granddaddy
