The following is a memoir that Thelma Young Wilkes wrote about her life, documenting events that occurred from the time of her birth to approx. age 59. It will appear on this blog word for word the way that Thelma wrote it out on paper. It's my hope that by putting it up in blog form, it can reach many more family members then it otherwise would through copies and the mail. As my Mom said, Grandma didn't write this journal so it could just sit in a file collecting dust! I know that I've learned so much about her life and her character by reading these entries, and I hope that everyone can gain a better appreciation for her and the life she led by reading her memoir.
The archives located on the right side of the blog are listed in chronological order, starting at her birth, as to make it easier to read the entries in the right order.
This blog will be kept on private mode, so if you know of other family members that would be interested in viewing this blog, please email me their email address at rowdyrudy2@hotmail.com or leave the email address in the most recent post's comment section.
