http://www.incogen.com/~millz/McKeown/ The following Weblog is a transcription of the handwritten journal of Margaret Elizabeth "Beth" McKeown Miller. Her journal runs from 1981 to 1991. It was found a few weeks after her death, which occurred suddenly in the early morning hours of Saturday, March 8, 1997. This was transcribed by Jason and Krista Miller and later updated by Harry Miller, Jr. circa 2001. Jason created this weblog Jan 9, 2005 and all entry titles (entry titles were not part of the journal). We have used brackets [ ] to include explanatory information we have added. en-us 1996-12-08T13:29:31-05:00 http://www.incogen.com/~millz/McKeown/archives/000201.html September 1994 Harry and I went to Hot Springs, Arkansas to his Navy squardron reunion.
