Grandma Millen was a childhood legend to me. Born in Evansville IN and from very humble beginnings, she was talented, energetic and smart. In the early 1900’s she finished high school. When she married she encouraged her husband to buy an old farmhouse. She transformed it into a forever home of their own. For many years she sold Encyclopedia Britannica, a “door to door”business. She was very successful and won awards and trips.
