Theresa's mother died in 1929 when Theresa was just six years of age. She had four children the oldest Jewel 9, Ruby 8, Theresa 6, Sterling 4 and Virginia 1 years old.
Theresa who is two and one half years younger than Jim has taken up the personal computer for e-mailing, writing correspondence and Netmeeting with her friends and children. She types with one finger but on the chat board her daughters are amazed at how fast she types.She has a great sense of humor and is an inveterate practical joker. She is an excellent housekeeper and when we were on the farm she contributed to the household income and larder by raising calves and either selling them as vealers or keeping them for the home freezer. At one time she had 26 cows in her barn for the winter.
Theresa at her own insistence drives the car and also does all the driving on her twice yearly trips to our home in Florida.

Theresa's mother died at age 29. Cause of death was given as tuberculosis which was rampant in Canada at that time. The five children were first sent to an orphanage and then were farmed out to foster homes in and around Kingston Ontario.
All were ultimately re-united with their father and they have remained a close-knit family every since. All but Theresa live in Kingston Ontario and Theresa lives about 180 kilometers from there in Cornwall Ontario.
This is the family of Theresa's oldest sister Jewel Gregg (nee Eves). It was taken at the funeral of their father Art Gregg who died in 1997 in his 80th year.
They are from left to right back row Janice, Mother Jewel. Bobby, Linda and Bonnie. Front row are Sterling and Artie. All live in Kingston Ontario and all of their families are closely knit.
This is the front of the house Theresa and Jim recently acquired for their retirement home in Canada. While they are in their Florida home during the winter months Cherry and Paul check on it and Paul keeps the snow blown away with his snowblower walking it up from their house which is 3 blocks away.
And this is the rear of the house with it's ample deck. They have a number of trees planted by the former owners and one of them a pear tree bore them their first fruit. Theresa likes her house very much and keeps the plants well watered around it. During the month they are living here they have a lawn service that cuts the lawn each week and trims around the trees and border.
