Virginia ran Brown’s Market in Owensboro with her husband, Darrel, for many years.  During WWII she worked at the Greyhound Bus Station in Paducah, which was a job she loved and remembered fondly over the years.

Virginia found great joy in automobile travel. She is free now to, once again,  cruise the highways in her Olds 98.
