Green memory
This is so much fun and so happy Ann thought of a way to entertain an old (er) couple!! Too bad we don't have Lala here to help us remember the old timers. My grandfather was George Alexander Rippetoe wass born in Nicholas Co. WVa on Feb 16, 1861. He married Virginia Ramsey in1886. they had 3 children. Curtis, George,Alma.George we all called uncle Willow (his middle name) I have a picture of the grandfather and when I find out how to do that I'll send.Whew so much to do...Curtis Echols Rippetoe Sr. was born in 1887 in Belva, W.Va. was a bookkeeper for Jones Coal Mine and glass plant in Kanawha City and retired as Auditor for state of W.Va. in Charleston, W.Va. He did graduate from a business school in Charleston.He married Anna Dorsey form Lizemore, W.Va. they had four children Mary Virginia (Ginny), Helen (Lala) and the twins Curtis Jr. and Ruth. that's enough to absorb for now but sure will be back with more. Might tell you lots of secrets you don't know about! Hokie, don't you have some of this with you? hope we aren't boring Clara too much. love you all to pieces Ruthie
