Her Young Life

My mother told me that when she was born she was so tiny her head could fit inside a coffee cup.

She was born October 11, 1935 in North Carolina.

The family moved around from NC to Upper East TN. I'm assuming that she was a teenager if not younger by the time they finally settled in Johnson City. Her father built a grocery store and sold used cars, and she went to school at Happy Valley. After graduating from high school she went to East Tennessee State College, which later became East Tennessee State University. She recieved a Bachelor of Arts degree and worked at various jobs till she finally worked for her father at his store.
