A Late Mother’s Day Tribute to a Nebraska Woman
From time to time, the Foundation asks our out of state donors about their ties to Nebraska. Jim Speicher of Maryland recently shared his mother’s memories of growing up in the 1930s and 1940s in Columbus, Nebraska.
“About a year ago, I found two short stories/reminiscences written by my mother about her early life in Columbus, Nebraska. My mother was in the high school class of 1943 and passed away in December 1997.” – Jim Speicher
