Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
No community should talk about its history, its past or its Founders Day without talking about the contributions of the women who made life possible with better and better opportunity for everyone Every community has a local heroine even if they have not discovered her yet. Then it is done, No matter how brave its warriors Nor how strong its weapons. I can close my eyes and see every sticky weed around our house, the gopher holes, the path to the coal house and the privy. And I can feel my feet on the path as I run barefoot from our house to the ranch house where the corrals wedge against the cottonwoods that line the river. There would have been no frontier in my mind, no wide open space that led on and on.
