6. Kerin’s Note: While I didn’t include most of the 1990s items from the original Henderson Connections, I am including this because I thought it was such a sweet tribute to Mildred. According to the caption, Mildred’s great-grandsons Ben and Drew Burton took top honors at the 1995 Reunion for their poster commemorating her. It reads:

Memories of our “GREAT” Great Grandmother Mildred Davey, because . . .
. . . She handmade Christmas stockings for Me, Ben, and my baby sister Caroline. —Drew
. . . She would make an Easter Bunny Cake with coconut fur and jelly bean eyes for us. —Ben
. . . She would make house shoes for Drew & I every winter. They are real warm. —Ben
. . . She was a good cook. I liked her chicken Best!  —Drew
. . . She made me & Drew blue & white & green & white polka dotted TV pillows and I think of her when I lay on mine watching TV.  —Ben
. . . She would let Drew & I pick the vegetables from the garden & then cook them for my lunch!  —Ben
. . . She made your favorite cake on your birthday and put a dime in the batter. Whoever got it in their piece had “Good Luck” throughout the year.  —Drew
. . . She liked to listen to music & play dominoes at the same time. We had to be quiet then (so she could think).  —Ben
. . . She let Ben & I pick plums last May off her plum tree. Then she taught mom to make plum jelly. It’s Good!  —Drew
