Prompt #11 (Mar 12-Mar 18): "Lucky" - Ruth Soderstrom
This clipping from The Dispatch May 16, 1967, page 7 tells how my great aunt Ruth, crossing the street, at an intersection, pushing a grocery cart, was hit by a car. Seeing how she was 72 years old at the time and only received a "bruise on her leg"? I would definitely call that
"LUCKY"
From Amy Johnson Crow, a genealogist, far more experienced then I. "The data that we've accumulated in our genealogy software and in our binders and folders doesn't do a whole lot of good just sitting there. We need to do something with it." Each week she sends out a prompt to share a bit about an ancestor, collateral relative, or family friend.
