Among the things I have that came from my maternal grandmother are three 5-year diaries covering the years of 1945 - early 1958 (she passed early in 1958). They give a unique insight into not only HER life and experiences, but also what was happening in the World at large during that time. During these years she and my grandfather lived in North Charleston. She did not work but he was a photographer by trade, doing weddings and other private engagements as well as working for the US Navy at the Charleston Navy Yard.
It will take some time, but once finished I will publish it. My current tentative title for the work is "The Last Years of a Charleston Lady". That could change ... and I'm not sure what the means of publication will be as yet. First things first ... let me finish it. Along the way I will post tidbits and excerpts of special interest.
