As a child, I remember the church committee coming by with toys and food for our family. I treasured the doll and have not forgotten the feeling of being thought about on Christmas. It has been 61 years and the memory is so clear. They also gave each of us $5 and took us shopping. It was heaven getting to buy the items I had dreamed over in the Woolworth's near our home. I remember clearly every page I colored in the book I bought, and the joyous feeling of at last owning a box of 64 crayons! Keep it up Jocey, you are a real memory maker!
