Rooted

On the way back to Minnesota, Older son and wife stopped in Fairfax, Oklahoma, from whence Husband's father hailed. They asked around about the Palace Trading Post which Great-grandfather had owned and were guided to the town historian, who not only showed them pictures from the times, but RAN OFF COPIES FOR THEM!

The experience reminds Fio of how amazed she was at the depth of documentation available when she visited the history center in Osceola Mills, her father's small Pennsylvania home town. It's nice to know one has roots.
