Always...

"This was unheard of . . . a free vacation in Florida. With Henry's blessing and her usual penchant for adventure, Florence set off in a 1936 black Buick with her friend, Helen, and four children. Roads were narrow, accommodations were scarce and there were long dist ances between gas stations. Florence encouraged word games and watched for each new "Burma Shave" sign to entertain the children. When a tire blew out, twelve year old Bobby skillfully met the challenge. When her companion, Helen, became anxious, Florence, the only driver, was pleasant and remained calm." Using diary excerpts, family photos, old letters and memos, original birth, death and wedding certificates and information gathered from her children and other family members, ALWAYS is an intimate collection of stories about the life of Florence Rose.
