My Talk for the Jackson Military Road Chapter of the DAR

I ended this year’s talks in the same place where I started, my home state.  But unlike the first, my last scheduled presentation didn’t deal exclusively with women who fought in the Civil War.  This time I ventured into new territory as I spoke to the Jackson Military Road chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) in Purvis, Mississippi.   I was very honored to be invited by Carolyn Ruegger who taught me math at Pearl River Community College.  Her daughter, Anita Morrow, also taught me math.  Throughout my life, God has placed influential people in my path who have helped mold me into the person I am today.  Mrs. Carolyn and Mrs. Anita are among these.
