LETTER: Thanks for the memories

Thank you for the great reminder of a remarkable woman (Fond Memories of an Iconic Family Home in M.V. Part 2: The Progress, Aug. 2). I have fond memories as a young boy of being with my Grandmother (Lillian Pulsipher) when she would visit Priscilla Rice. My grandmother too would walk to any location in the valley at any time she felt she could assist whether the help was wanted or not.

I had forgotten about the knee-high socks Priscilla would wear, but could never forget the over-size hats she wore for shade.

For a time in the early 70’s, we were neighbors to the Rice home. We rented the Whipple house while my father was building our first Logandale home located on Sandy Lane. I must admit that as a young boy, I was terrified of the old Rice home but later was mesmerized by it and wanted to live there “someday.”

I’m grateful to have known these two wonderful examples of strong, faithful and caring women. I appreciate you bringing back these cherished memories to me.
