Mary Ellen Daley

I wouldn't consider myself a history buff, but I'm interested in going back and looking at my own personal history - where I came from (Snowy and cold northern Wisconsin) and where I ended up (Connecticut with a wonderful family and 3 amazing children - 6 very clever grandchildren). What a great life I've had so far and I hope to share whatever of my personal history that I can.
