"TO MY GRANDCHILDREN:
There flows in your veins, the blood of a long line of chosen people, favored of the Lord, that you, each of you, might have life in abundant measure. Keep your own aim high, higher than you can possibly reach, else what's a heaven for? Remember these words of your Grandpa Dunford as they have been given to me and my father before, the rallying cry of the Dunfords everywhere and at all times:
REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE AND ACT ACCORDINGLY
Love always,
Your Grandpa,
L. Clayton Dunford"
Could there be a more riveting letter ever written? Could there be a more hopeful message for one's posterity? Do these words mean as much to you as they do to me?
This blog is dedicated to the posterity of Clayton and Elizabeth Dunford. May it be a place to express, share, and grow together as a family. But most of all --may it be a place to REMEMBER.

This is a GREAT idea! Thanks for getting this together.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful legacy. Thank you for organizing this for the Dunford family. The images of Clayton and Elizabeth are stunning. Anyone know who to ask to get a high-resolution version of the file of them on the river?
