Telling Our Family Stories

Though this isn't a family photo, Grandma and Grandpa probably drove something like this on their adventures from Kansas to California, across the desert where there weren't even paved roads.

I'm inspired to use some of my retirement time to capture some of the stories I heard growing up. Stories about Grandma and Grandpa Gish and their adventures crossing the western US in early automobiles, the hardships of their lives and their amazing resiliency, the children they bore, raised, lost, and adopted. I'm also going to try to reconstruct stories from my Dad's side of the family. If you have any stories, photos, or information you'd like to pass along, let me know. I hope it'll be something you'll enjoy reading!
