My maiden name was Sharon Brown. I used Maggie in this story, because my father had wanted to give me the name, "Margaret."
My mother refused and wanted to name me after the flower, "Rose of Sharon." In fact, she planted this rose bush near the front porch. The bush would attract hummingbirds.
Thanks to the Veteran's Administration, I was able to go to college and become a grade school teacher.
