When she (Maude A. SMITH) was born her father went out and killed a goose and made a small pillow for her out of the feathers. That pillow has been passed down from first child to first child - my grandfather to my father to me to my daughter and now to Diego. When I was about 12 I made a slip cover for the pillow and when my daughter Erin became pregnant I put it in a shadow box with the story and gave it to her for Diego. Janet Lorae TINGSTROM
