Susan's birth

Mom and Dad lived in a wee, tiny house in Roanoke,VA when Susan was born. Dad had Grace Methodist (they weren't "United" yet). The church is so small, they apparently don't have a website. I was 6 when Sue was born, and Ed was 3. Back in those ancient, long ago days, nobody knew the sex of a baby until it was born. (imagine!) I, of course, wanted a girl, Ed a boy. Mom and Dad's official position was that they didn't care. When Sue was born, Dad told us we had a new baby sister. Ed reacted by yelling over to the neighbor-boy and saying, "Johnny! Johnny! Our side lost!" This tale later became Granny's favorite anecdote, and was re-told until we were sick of it! (So I thought I would share it yet again!)
