At that time there were books out telling writers they should never use 'was', ing or ly words. Use them sparingly, but eliminating them entirely is crazy. <br />I don't see her unless I go to the annual family reunion. But I can reach her when I want to. I don't usually mention I am related to her. She did not help me to get published or find an agent. Really we are poles apart.Rita Gerlachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348571506318182955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3592240343467905804.post-18669555130099096202010-03-17T19:17:37.703-04:002010-03-17T19:17:37.703-04:00Hi Rita -

We learned our name originally was spelled, "Reinhard." Somewhere along the line, the "t," got tacked onto the end.<br /><br />Seriously? You're related to Nora Roberts? Has she given you any writing advice? <br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

I do have a lot of photos, but some handwritten things would be great. My mother thinks she threw away the letters she and my father wrote during the war away years ago. I'll have to post next about my great grandmother and her story...what I know of it. It's very romantic.Rita Gerlachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348571506318182955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3592240343467905804.post-69250213531878502882010-03-17T10:07:24.685-04:002010-03-17T10:07:24.685-04:00Oh my goodness - what a wonderful heritage you hav...Oh my goodness - what a wonderful heritage you have! I envy you finding this page, and learning more about her heart. I recently came across a box of letters, documents and photos of my late mother's first husband. He was killed in WWII - a bomber pilot. I have been trying to piece together their story to do a novel. I so treasure all the hand written things I have - even though it's from someone I never knew. What I wouldn't give for a page from a journal my mother wrote during that time. You are blessed. Thanks you for sharing this.Jan Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16617976979678082323noreply@blogger.com
