I have so many fond memories of my grandmother, Luena Ransom Smith. These memories include making cookies, big hugs, heartfelt talks, and words of wisdom. Grandma has always called me her "sweetheart" and has given each of her granddaughters her own special nickname. Being the oldest granddaughter, I feel like I have been so lucky to get to know her so well. My younger cousins will never get to experience her the way I have.
Because of how close I am with Grandma Luena, I feel that it is my duty to document the experiences she has shared with me and have chosen to do so through a student-designed project for my Intro to Writing Family History class.
My goal for this project has been to gather information about my grandma's childhood during the 1930's and 1940's. After the interview process, I decided to take the information and find labels and adjectives to describe Grandma and dedicate a blog post to each one. I feel this will help me explore different aspects of the culture in which she grew up.
I hope this background information will help others understand the project more. Enjoy!
