Thanks for your comment!
Back when I was going to
Drake University I wrote a 22 page paper about the Orphan Train. I located a Gilbert Eddie who was one of the last children along with his brother who rode the Orphan Train West. I drove up to NE Iowa and recorded my interview with Gilbert Eddie and included part of his story in my paper. Gilbert has since died. His daughter wrote a brief story of her Father in the IOWA . I contacted her and she had a copy of my paper that I sent her after I wrote it.
How can I contact Laura Rowley?
