Great Grandma Rice I interviewed my Great Grandma who was born December 20, 1917. She is now 98 years old and still going strong. She has known me since I was born and I am blessed to know who she is today. She was the seventh child of two brothers and four sisters. She was almost abandoned by her mother after she gave birth to her. Her Father said he would take care of her and make sure nothing bad happened to her. When she was little, she lived in Chicago.

Then they would return the girl home on time before her curfew.(The best movies to see was with the Actors Buddy Rogers and Mary Pickford. They were funny in all the movies they starred in.)
