Happy birthday, Freddie Jane!

   My grandmother, Jane, turned 97 years old on May 9th. Quite an accomplishment!  If you quickly do the math, you will determine she was born in 1913. In that year Ford Motor Company introduced the assembly line, and Woodard Wilson became the 28th President. Richard Nixon, Rosa Parks and Vivien Leigh are just a few who share her birth year.

One interesting tidbit about Miss Jane is she embellished  her name. Growing up with only a first name, Jane decided to choose an additional name-Freddie; thus, she became known as Freddie Jane. After she married, her husband completed Jane's social security application for her.  He listed Freddie Jane as her full name on the form.  He didn't realize until afterwords that Freddie wasn't her real name.
