My  mother came from a family in which education was  prized>>>>
 
 
On the subject of families with a tradition of education, I think my
father's side is remarkable.  My grandfather, a USA Civil War  veteran
who fought at Vicksburg and who was born on PEI, in the Canadian
Maritimes, homesteaded in Western Minnesota, and was a farmer all
his life.
 
There were six children.  The two girls were high school teacher  graduates
of Hamline University.  For the boys, there were two physicians, a  dentist,
and a lawyer (my father).
 
.....Pretty good for farms kids from the prairies of Western  Minnesota.
 
 
 
David- who goes back to the Huguenots and their arrival at New  Rochelle
in 1688 on father's side.  I'm afraid they wouldn't approve of my  catholic
theology.
