Autobiography: I've spent years volunteering as a genealogist at NMPL. I proudly bear the titles of military mom and military grandmother, badges of honor earned through the sacrifices and triumphs of my family. And to Jerry Newman, whose kindness and enthusiasm have illuminated the path of this project, I offer my deepest gratitude. His support has been a beacon of light, guiding these words into the world with warmth and sincerity.
