Edith, It all started with your mention of Utica Institute. Indeed we are all connected and the Black Press is the wonder!

VALENCIA!!! You are a wonder! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.  I'm  truly  overcome--sitting here with tears in my eyes.,. the clip of my mother announcing their engagement! My dads enlistment. I've never seen these before. Dr Carl Peterson of Kansas City was his classmate and best friend and Dr. Edmund Noel. In my profile picture, I'm sitting next to Edmund Buddy Noel, Jr.I presume these came from the black newspaper database.. I remember Judge Edith Sampson coming to visit at our house. A black woman judge--named Edith, no less. She was inspiration . Thank you , thank you, thank you. What an amazing gift!
