In this blog, I am documenting a piece of family history.  My late mother was the Valedictorian of her high school class.  I'm sorting through boxes of her things, and I found her valedictory address from 1944.   A bit of history. And I was able to scan it before the brittle paper disintegrated.  I encourage everyone to make electronic copies of family history such as this speech. There was just one yellowed fragile copy left.
