Just read your book, Sally Matilda. This book was very interesting as I am married to Frank Ready who is Frank Ready’s great grandson and Howard’s grandson. It was great to read about family history! We appreciate your story. Do you have pictures of frank Ready and Sally Matilda you could share? We would love to see them. My husband never got to meet his grandpa Howard.
Shelly Ready

Would love to chat more! Kathryn
