The only desk Marion remembers signing was a school desk she signed when she was a teacher and it was signed Marion Cole, her maiden name. <br /><br /><br />However, Marion says if you wish to say it is her desk, please feel free." <br /><br /><br /> <br />That's the note. So I guess it isn't her desk, but wasn't it generous of Marion Reid to offer to let me "say it is her desk"; further evidence of her graciousness.<br /><br />I love the desk regardless. It's a wonderful place to write!Carol Steel https://www.blogger.com/profile/01331628292567383426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-152150414216028351.post-45799713332108896452011-08-12T10:54:40.407-03:002011-08-12T10:54:40.407-03:00There is no guarantee that this is her desk, but w...There is no guarantee that this is her desk, but wouldn't it be intriguing if it was?<br /><br />It is a lovely place to write regardless.Carol Steel https://www.blogger.com/profile/01331628292567383426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-152150414216028351.post-57365507907838087372011-08-12T10:29:27.658-03:002011-08-12T10:29:27.658-03:00What an interesting historical find, Carol.What an interesting historical find, Carol.Gwen Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13410235558740636534noreply@blogger.com
