Curious. How do you find your names. My mother's name is on the list? Just wondering.....

They come from everywhere my eyes venture: newspapers, magazines, TV, movies. Sometimes people submit them. They have to catch my fancy, and they have to be real.

Very nice. Interesting too. Makes a nice memory that also shows the person existed... in today's culture "so soon we forget." Keep up the grea work!
