My beginnings

Where to start?
I guess at the beginning.
Being pregnate and not married in the 1960's was a big no-no! This is where my mother, Liz Wolfe, found herself preceding her 18th birthday. She had broken up with my father Louis Gale Jarvis and now had found herself pregnate. Being a big woman, she stands about 6'3", she was able to hide the pregnancy until she was almost ready to give birth. At the old Booth Womens hospital in Cleveland Ohio, March 21, 1961, saw Melinda Sue Wolfe come into the world.
About that time, another young couple found that they were unable to conceive due to some very large tumors. They finished the paperwork with Lake County and proceed to sit and wait for the chance to adopt a baby. Six months later, Liz's heart was broke as she signed the final release papers, releasing me to the care of Lake county Child welfare and the dreams of Boby and Ross McElligott were realized by a phone call from the welfare agency saying that there was a child available. Thus - the story starts......
