About Barbara Ann

When asked how mom got her name, Granny said, "there was the cutest little girl that lived up the street with curly hair and her name was Barbara Ann. Ervin was getting ready to leave on deployment. If we had a daughter he asked if I'd name her Barbara Ann."

So when Barbara was born, he sent a reply telegram back asking, "Did you name her what we talked about?" That's how she got her name."
