In 1934, 1936 and 1938, he wrote about the Pilgrim fathers, who in 1623 faced &#8220;their second winter of hunger, cold and peril&#8221; until, after a day of prayer, sighted &#8220;a ship loaded with friends and supplies.&#8221; He ended every one of these columns [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ebenezerray.com&#038;blog=13922120&#038;post=3841&#038;subd=elainecarolynray&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

My father, a contemporary, was apparently smitten with her.
