Virginia Penrod that is the highest compliment I have ever received. Thank you, Janice Webster Brown. Even if it's only a little bit true it's what I would wish to be.

Janice Webster Brown My post tomorrow on St. Pat's day is dedicated to her, and there is even a sound track of her singing. I know there is somewhat of a family resemblance, but really if I had the patience that she had in her baby finger I'd be much better off :)

Janice Webster Brown Thomas & Mary (Lyons) Manion/Manning of County Galway Ireland and Manchester, New Hampshire had 12 children. There are hundreds of descendants living today. Our gram (in the photo) married one of them (i.e. Charles Manning). Perhaps Cathleen Cullity Manning's husband Chuck was named after him. Do you know Cathy?

Cathleen Cullity Manning
Cathleen Cullity Manning Janice, I always thought both Randy and Chuck were named after military friends of their dad. I'll look into it.

Susan Anderson Manning
Susan Anderson Manning Randy's Dad told him that the man Randy is named after saved his life. So it sounds like you are right. Cathy.

Janice Webster Brown
Janice Webster Brown wow Susan, that sounds like a story in the making. Do you have any idea who that man was?

Susan Anderson Manning
Susan Anderson Manning Randy doesn't know any more than that. He assumed it was another pilot, but he doesn't know. He doesn't even know if Randall was his first or last name.

Janice Webster Brown
Janice Webster Brown I never heard that story!
March 17, 2016 at 6:59pm
Virginia Penrod
Virginia Penrod oh boy...another precious tale to be revealed??? Search it out Janice Webster Brown!!! yes, you can!!!
March 17, 2016 at 7:06pm
Janice Webster Brown
Janice Webster Brown Well Ginny, its not that simple, Uncle Bob was in the military for a long time, and I have no idea who served with him, and no notices among my mom or gram's things that might even give me a little cue.

Virginia Penrod
Virginia Penrod who said it was easy??? aha, you love the challenge. So, #1 clue:near death experience!! life in danger.... oh yeah, most of the time, huh. Someone must have heard a story???

Cathleen Cullity Manning
Cathleen Cullity Manning Susan, Randy could ask Charles Gauvin if he remembers anything about it.
