Growing up in a small town was comfortable and protective; moreover, as a teenager in the 1940\u2019s, it was reassuring. We were surrounded by hard-working people who cared about their neighbors and quality of life; people who strongly believed in God and country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">\u2014Earleen Danford Shorey<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Bolivia, North Carolina is nestled amid stately pines, good farm lands, and other magnificent resources. When Earleen Danford Shorey was growing up there, it was expected to become a bustling town, once boasting a railroad built by Russian immigrants, sawmills, general merchandise stores, a shingle manufacturer, public schools, churches, a doctor and dentist, two automobile agencies, a hotel, and a tobacco market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Growing up in the Danford family, there was never a dull moment for Earleen. School functions took up a lot of her time, and it was always fun to help neighbors with canning and harvesting crops like tobacco. Living close to beaches, ponds, and creeks also provided a great deal of entertainment, and they were ideal locations for oyster roasts and access to other seafood delights.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Danfords were one of many families who settled in Bolivia several hundred years ago, and <em>Under Southern Skies: My Early Years<\/em> is the first of two memoirs about several generations of the Danfords during the 1930\u2019s and 1940\u2019s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4237,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0},"product_cat":[273],"product_tag":[389,422,244,423,421,424],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.6 -
