A little of my history

I am LeLawne Mae Gratton Eve (Lonnie Eve). I am the first born of Chuck and Dorothy Gratton. I was born on June 18th, 1937 in Rock Springs, Wy., where I lived until I was 6 weeks old. Then we moved to Harlem, Mt, and then to Havre, Mt., and finally settling in Chinook, Mt., which is right in the middle between Harlem and Havre. I graduated from high school there in 1955, and then went on to college in Great Falls, where I met and married my husband (of 51 years now). We had seven children - 5 daughters and 2 sons, 2 beautiful daughters-in-law, 4 great sons-in-law, and 9 grandchildren. We lived in Great Falls for 20 years, and then moved to Billings and lived there for 20 years, and now have moved back to Great Falls, where I'm sure we'll be for the duration. We are so blessed! We have a wonderful family. Good jobs. And each other. It's a great life!

I LUV this entry, Lonnie. Do you remember anything about Rock Springs? I always thought you moved to Harlem long before you were six years old? At any rate, this is a great entry!!
