Interesting tidbit: Jackie hated her dress. Her mother chose it.

You can read more about her and other wonderful women who are profiled in the book, THE THREADS OF TIME,THE Fabric of History, 288 pp., 2007, written by Rosemary E. Reed Miller, Available from T & S Press, tel. 202- 723-9007.

Ann's story and others can be verified in the book, THE THREADS OF TIME, THE FABRIC OF HISTORY, written by r. Reed Miller, T & S Press, 2007. Google it for more details.
