A Mississippi Girl Remembers By Mildred Smith

Mildred Smith, wrote her autobiography, A Mississippi Girl Remembers, several years ago. I met Lucy Mildred Smith about 27 years ago at Open Gate Church of the Nazarene in El Paso, Texas.

She kind of adopted me, my husband, and our children after I got married and started having children. She sort of adopted a lot of children and families all across the country. For years,  Mildred would tell of her many adventures around the world so several years ago, she decided to write her story and she paid to have it published. Her publisher then put her story on Amazon so others could read it.

This is a fascinating story of her life all over the world. Mildred Smith is a dear friend of mine. I have known her for the past 30 years. I first met her at Open Gate Church of the Nazarene in El Paso, Texas. She was a local celebrity, known as the Tin Can Lady. She is a great lady with a fabulous story.

A registered nurse, she married an Army/Air Force bomber from World War II who had been shot down in Europe. I read this book after she first wrote it a few years ago. Mildred loves children and teens and enjoys teaching them about how life was back in the 1940's. She is a very patriotic lady who loves her country. She is a born-again Christian who loves the Lord. This book has great family values. Mildred has been a go-getter her whole life. I suggest that you buy this book and learn a lot about the values that helped to shape our great country.

Mildred begins with her childhood, growing up with nine kids in her family in Mississippi. She grows up, goes to nursing school, and then meets Bob. After that, they travel all over the place, learning new things, meeting people, and growing. Mildred has never met a stranger and loves helping people. She is big on causes and began the recycling movement in El Paso back in the 1970's.

If you are curious as to how things were in Mississippi back in the beginning of the 20th century, pick up a copy of my friend, Mildred Smith's book, A Mississippi Girl Remembers.
