	Maymie DeLong and Clara Mae Woody's May 2003 reunion in Chattanooga. Maymie and Clara were at Bonny Oaks together in the 1930's.
	Clara and Maymie outside the hotel - first meeting in over 60 years.
	Visiting each other in the hotel's lobby. Clara Mae Woody Dietrich, Maymie DeLong-Jones and Marilyn Jones-Koshinski (Maymie's daughter, Marilyn, arranged their reunion).
	And....this is what Bonny Oaks was all about...giving a child the chance to have a normal life. Here is Maymie and her daughter, Marilyn, who accompanied her back to her childhood home and walked each step of the way down memory lane with her mother. "Her own child who loves her very much"! God Bless You, Maymie!
Marilyn's email after arriving home in New Mexico: Maymie and I had a wonderful walk through the past in Chattanooga. The church opened the Dent house to us so Mom could reminiscence past years from her old bedroom window [she shared the upstairs first bedroom on the right with three other girls for the last two years that she lived at Bonny Oaks.] We had the reunion with Clara Mae Woody which was great fun. Clara is a charming person that I wish I lived closer to so we could visit more often. Clara's nephew brought her to our hotel and had to endure three very talkative women, I can't thank him enough..... how I wish we had more time. Thank you for getting us in touch with Clara and a very Happy Mother's Day to you!, Marilyn Jones-Koshinski PS. will be sending you photo's of the past and present next week!
