Widowed lover of all History. Professional pet groomer since 1985, I'm the keeper of the family histories of the Galloway/Landreth and Ham(m)/Owens. Honored to have come from the Cherokee nation. My great great grandma was a full blooded Cherokee medicine woman, Elizabeth Christopher Hogsed. My first name came from an amazing woman from Shelby NC. She raised three daughters on her own while waitressing. Thelda saved all her tips leaving them to her daughters and numerous charities. ALS took her life so she donated her body to science in hopes a cure would be found in the near future. Her portrait hangs at Bridges BBQ off Hwy 74.
