Dear Cousins,

Did you know that Grandmother Davis was working in her parents' restaurant on roller skates when she met Grandpa?  One of the men slapped her on the behind, and she dumped a plate of spaghetti on his head.  Grandpa was working cattle and had stopped for a meal.  Grandpa was impressed with this spunky, pretty girl.  This is part of our family history - we come from great people.

Wouldn't that have been fun to see?  

I wish I had a picture of a young Della Davis. . .
