Talk about going cold turkey. This fab photo was snapped in 1959 at the Governor’s Mansion in Tallahassee, Florida. The photo is of Florida Governor LeRoy Collins’s 9-year-old daughter, Darby (now an FOF!) on Thanksgiving. Governor Collins and his family were the first to live in the Governor’s Mansion. The 1959 Thanksgiving was the second-ever Thanksgiving celebrated there.

Cute picture! Darby is a sweet, sweet lady. Attended the F.S.U. Deconstration School with her when this pic was taken. Our class was invited to view the “new” governor’s mansion-her dad, LeRoy, was the finest man to occupy that office. Her mother, Mary Call Collins was a true southern lady/steel magnolia.

Great review-sounds like a rellay interesting review. I’d love to read it and compare it to Kingsolver’s book. Am I allowed’ to be in the draw even though I live north of the border? If I were to win, it could always go to my in-laws for a while Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
