Wait, what?!

 Sometimes living in a small town/county is really fun.  Everything sort of folds in on its each other and you can see just exactly how small of a world it can be.  For example, I was looking for something entirely unrelated and found this article about a poem De Ila wrote when she was 14.  Take a look and see if you can spot what I found.  



That's right!  That's my momma in the "10 Years Ago" column.  Who would have expected to find De Ila and Kymberly side by side in 1968?  

Source: The above articles were taken from the News Herald, March 4, 1968; Page 6.  

Where it fits: De Ila is the daughter of Merrill Basil Rudes, Jr. & Mary Caroline "Mary Cary" Leutz.  Kymberly Allen is the daughter of Richard Walter Allen & Joyce Elaine Johannsen.  Or in short, my mother and my paternal aunt who wouldn't meet for at least another 10 years.
