- 2005 - September: Both sides of the Grady family tree have roots in the
Midwest - Kansas and Nebraska - Grady's and Minnich's came from there -
we're mostly all wimpy city dwellers now, but our elders faced some daunting
elements out on the plains! My Grandmother, MaryB Grady, now in her
90's still has a few sections (that's farmer talk - a section is 1
square mile or 640 acres) where she grows wheat (and sometimes corn, milo
and soy beans) out in
Colby, Kansas - far western Kansas - where the amber waves of grain
continue to yield our country's daily bread. Here's an
old Colby newspaper - the year 1929 in review - see April and June for
some very old Grady family news! Now, MaryB has lived through these US
Presidents: Theodore Roosevelt, William Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Warren
Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert C. Hoover, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry
Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon,
Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Bill Clinton, George
W. Bush. She's sweet, loving and one hell of a tough cookie -
windstorms, hail, droughts, floods, depressions, wars, locusts, failed crops
and whatever nature could throw at her could NEVER keep her from smiling and
enjoying herself. Here's some pix from May 29th, 2004 - a windstorm

and... MaryB just keeps on chugging! Next time you enjoy a nice slice
of bread or a cookie or a croissant, keep in mind my sweet little old MaryB
- she's a family treasure and she's been feeding America for almost a
century!
