I awoke at 4 o’clock this Saturday morning, July 7th and I sat down at my table with many of the memories of my boyhood in the early 1900s.

I remembered with pride my father spoke with in telling me of the day he landed at Ellis Island as a boy of 9 with my grandpa.  I remember how happy my grandpa was that he was able to become a citizen in this great land.

I think it might have been the Lady herself that woke me this morning.

Sincerely Yours
