Bob,
That is a gorgeous restoration, but I'll bet that the beauty of the frame pales besides the strength, the stories, and the character of its owner.
I hope that she is recording her memories for the rest of us, especially for the women (and men) of all ages for whom she is a terrific role model.
Appreciatively yours,
Jon Spangler Alameda, CA USA
