I, James Skipper, have carefully recopied Winnie H. Riddle's poems from the drafts that my mother retyped and then saved and my desire as her grandson, is to now make these poems available to others who may enjoy reading about the things that influenced her enough to make note of.

I would like any book that is published, to be dedicated to the memory of my grandmother as she was a most gracious and humble woman who merely enjoyed writing about the simple things in the world around her.
