We will be putting together a book of Park and Vilate Lee and their children and other past relatives. Isn't this exciting?

Did you know that Grandpa Romney had come by train and wagon over 250 miles from Colonial Moreles to be with Grandma Romney when Lettie was born?

Did you know that Derald attended Harvard?

Did you know that George's first words were "back up tom"?

You will learn this and much more in the Park and Vilate Lee Romney Book.
