This lady kept outbidding us and outbidding us, so we emailed her and explained how impt it was to us to get this book. Well it turns out she is a family member of Ellas and also wants this book. She was like a great great great great granddaughter or something of Ellas. We didnt know if we could believe her or not, but we let her win the auction. She in turn donates a beautiful plauque that was very expensive to us to give to the chapter, we call it the Ella Pierce Turner award and Alpha classes give it to a Delta for a year, someone we look up to and think great things of. This lady still emails me and asks if I need anymore money for the plaque or any new things. She is a very nice lady and I did learn she was for real on being family with Ella, so it was a great story to tell the chapter when we started the award.

These "little" things just thrill me to pieces!!! I can remember reading in
Sisters that a LOT of Ella's descendents have become Adelpheans/Alpha Delta Pi's, but I forget the exact number. What a fantastic "genealogy"!!
