Family In Indianapolis

In Leah’s Words:

Hi! My name is Leah Favors. I am 10 years old.

I have been invited to go to Florida so I can be in movies and be a singer and a dancer! It costs a lot of money to go. I’m sorta good at math so I told my mom and dad that I think if 7000 people will give me just $1, we will be able to go. Will you please give me $1 to help me go to Florida !?!?!?

In Our Words:

Leah auditioned at a regional talent search in April of this year. As a result, she made final callbacks and has been invited to attend the Millie Lewis Actors, Models, and Talent Convention (www.millielewis.com) , a national talent competition being held in Orlando, Florida in January 2008. This is a 6-day family- and Christian-centered event in which Leah will compete in front of, interview with, and be constantly assessed by over 1000 talent agents from around the world. Leah was chosen for the areas of runway modeling, television commercials, and print. Leah is a sweet little girl with a heart of gold. She has overcome a lot of early challenges in her life and continues to defy the odds. As her parents, we believe that this event will give her just the boost she needs to keep moving forward in life. Total costs to take her to this event will be about $7000. We told Leah we didn’t see how it could be done. However, Leah had a different plan and what choice have we but to support her? So, will you consider being one of just 7000 people to donate just one dollar or the gift amount of your choice to help get her to Florida? Corporate and/or private sponsors are welcomed. Be a part of history and be able to point to her on television one day and say that you were an instrumental part of her success!!!!!

Sincerely, Anthony and Tia Favors,

1930 Curry Family Census Information

Thanks to my niece, Kimberly Purefoy of Stone Mountain, Georgia, we now have a page out of the 1930 national census for the two Curry family households living in Indianapolis, Indiana. Listed are my maternal grandparents, Thomas and Elizabeth Curry (and their children) and his oldest son's household, Clyde Curry (wife, Lola and then only child, Juanita). It's interesting to note that the only surviving relative from the two households is my maternal aunt, Ethel, who is not listed there because of her birthdate of 1931. Here is the copy from the actual 1930 census. (See Curry households near the bottom of the page.) Thank you so much, Kim!
