Jack Fritscher, PhD has very kindly allowed us to post this link (https://online.flipbuilder.com/qquj/vjfh/mobile/index.html) for the interest and edification of Clan members.
The link is to the Flipbook version of his mother’s book Always Virginia (which is also in paperback and Kindle at Amazon) about her life as part of the Day family in 1920s-1930s Southern Illinois. Jack says we will find the story interesting and that it may provide ideas about how to write our own family histories and to design our own family books.

** “St. Patrick’s Blue is a name applied to several shades of blue associated with Saint Patrick and Ireland. The colour blue’s association with Saint Patrick dates from the 1780s, when it was adopted as the colour of the Anglo-Irish “Order of St. Patrick”. In British usage, it refers to a sky blue used by the Order of St. Patrick, whereas in Irish usage it is often a dark, rich blue. While green is now the usual national colour of Ireland, St. Patrick’s blue is still found in symbols of both the state and the island.” – source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Patrick’s_blue
