to all who may have any knowledge of my grandmother please share your memories. here is one that was sent to me i love this story.
Dear Christine,
I am very sorry to hear of your grandmother's
passing. I have been looking for her for about 20
years. I can't help you with the family tree book,
but I do have a story for you:
October 13, 1952 - Evelyn Basco's husband was in
the Navy and stationed in California. However, Evelyn
- who was VERY pregnant - was visiting some friends in
Arkansas. When she unexpectedly went into labor, her
friends took her to the nearest Navy Hospital which
was in Millington, Tennessee.
Evelyn's doctor was a young woman named LT Norrell.
The doctor assured Evelyn everything would be all
right and asked whether she wanted a boy or a girl.
Evelyn replied, "I want a brown-eyed little girl with
curly hair." LT Norrell laughed and said, "We'll see
what we can do."
At 3:25 pm that Monday, LT Norrell delivered
Evelyn's healthy, brown-eyed, curly-haired little
girl.
I am that little girl. :-) Your grandmother
brought me into this world! I had hoped to find "LT
Norrell" and let her know that I, too, joined the
Navy. I just retired in 2003 and my last duty station
was Millington, Tennessee.
I am in contact with many, many Navy women veterans
and will pass the word to see if we can find anyone
who knew or worked with your grandma.
I hope you enjoy this memory. I am the historian
for my family and will be glad to offer ideas for
helping you locate more information on your grandma.
Take care -
Patty Parks
