I just sat down to read all of the posts that Noni (Ruthie) has been writing about her family and I cannot tell you how fun it is to learn about my relatives. I am Heather, Ruth & Bill's second grandchild & daughter of Bill and Kris Green. I currently live in Phoenix, AZ with my husband Patrick and three children, Timothy William (9 1/2), Lauren Grace (6 1/2) & Elyse Clare (3). We moved here last summer after living in Monterey, CA for 7 years. Before that we were in both Colorado and Salt Lake City. I'm so excited that this blog was started. My son often asks questions about our heritage--when & where people were born, what they did, etc.-- and hearing it as written by his "great-Noni" is even more special! I don't have any info to add, but I did want to share a recent story about my daughter, Lauren... she is the only 1 of my 3 who wasn't given a name that was already in the family (William of course after my dad and Papa, and Elyse is my middle name). Her siblings have always called her "LaLa" though because Tim couldn't pronounce her name when she was born and that stuck. A few weeks ago Lauren asked me, "Mom why don't I have a family name?" I replied, "Well, Noni's sister was named LaLa just like you." And without batting an eye, Lauren said, "Oh, well then she must have been one special lady!" I assured her that she was indeed. Looking forward to reading more stories and perhaps sharing a few of my own memories. I do have a few from a visit to LaLa & Bob's house in WV... hiking through the forest by their house and catching a turtle that I insisted we drive all the way back to our house in Ohio when I was 5, and dancing down their staircase like I was in the broadway production of Annie... My stories though would mainly be about Noni (Ruthie) and all the wonderful times with her & Papa in Louisville! Happy blogging!
