After our mother passed, we held a family ceremony in the front yard to scatter her ashes in special places, including over our pet cemetery, where many of her little animals also lay. Back inside the house, we gathered around the small metal box that had been discovered in the back of her closet. We opened the box and began to study all of the papers that had been so carefully stored inside for so many years. The family mysteries began to flow as we found her delayed birth certificate and request for permanent name change. There were letters from Vern Dolan and all of her military records. It was the beginning of her story that needed to be told.
