ABOUT THIS BLOG: Hi this is Laurianne Smith Stevenson, youngest daughter of Ralph and Carol Smith, and I decided to create this blog because Mom left boxes of pictures that I still have to go through and so I thought that I would scan and share them with family members who may be interested. I am also doing this for her family so it may take me awhile. If you would like to submit stories or pictures let me know and I will add you to the author list.
