Happy Mother's Day. This is a Seattle Post Intelligencer photo from a human interest article about my mom, Betty, joining the Marines in 1943, following in her father Bill Jones' footsteps (that's him on the right). She is still alive and well, living in the house I grew up in, and turning 90 this summer. It's been a blessing she has lived so long. . .fifty years longer than my father. She plays numerous rounds of Words for Friends with each of her children every day, and reads three or four books a week--about half of them on her iPad! We are looking forward to celebrating her 90th birthday this August.
