Notes for: Beulah Belle Bodine
I got her name from a posting by Carol Coggins (coggins4 at pacbell.net) at the Bodine Forum. In October, she wrote me and said that Beulah, her grandmother, was 93 and living in a rest home. She was playing the piano, singing, and telling stories and jokes to entertain the captive crowd.
