Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Maw Maw Clifton always had a huge garden. Her table would be full of fresh vegetables. She was a wonderful cook and a strict school teacher. I told someone one day that Mrs. Clifton was my grandmother and they said she is a really tough teacher but you learned something in her classroom or you didn't pass!
