Preface and Navigation Notes

This blog is a compilation of historical note and anecdotes from the like of Kendall Mark Miller, born December 7, 1951, in Newton, Kansas to William Mark Miller and Faye Madaleen Miller (nee Montgomery). I expect it to be a work in progress for an extended time.



It consists of a number of articles as blog entries. The organization is dynamic in nature as I expect articles to be created, expanded, polished, and subdivided over time. There is a table of contents that contains permanent links to the articles in a chronological order. The order of the entries in the blog is basically random. With each session, I expect to create an update entry that summarizes the recent changes. When articles are first created, they may be nothing more than a few keywords to get my thoughts rolling.

The best way to navigate this is to start at the Table of Contents on the side over there.

How He Met My Momma

Church Reunion in Racine
Motorcycles
School at Graceland
School in OSU in Stillwater,  Go Cowboys.

Vallee died just as Dad went off to the Merchant Marine. Wayne died about that time also. His family was known to the church community and many had sympathy for them. The twins were still infants. Madaleen had helped care for them at the reunion just before all that went down. So she knew of Bill but he was actually interested in another gal at that time. While Dad did his Merchant Marine service, he always arranged his sailings such that he was able to get back to Racine for reunion. that was his way of dating church girls. Eventually, he became acquainted with Mom just as she was about to head off to D.C. for her stent in the secretarial pools there. He wrote to her while she was there and they met up again at a later reunion. They got married it 1948. (I think after a stint at Graceland.) Then they went to OSU as a married couple so Dad could finish his degree. Unlike his peers, Dad didn't have GI Bill so Mom had to get a job to pay for school and support him.
