Little Marjorie Ann

The Little Marjorie Ann: Stuck in the Mud story is based on a true childhood story told by eighty–six–year–old Marjorie Ann on a muddy walk up from a neighborhood Puget Sound beach. She was telling me how she loved the mud even after she got stuck in the mud when she was four years old. In 1938 the family was living in Edmond, North Dakota, on a hill with a muddy swamp below. She and her siblings would play in the mud. The day she got stuck in the mud her brother, Bob rescued her, pulling her out of her boots. To this day, Marjorie Ann will not hesitate to have a good time walking in the mud even if it means she may get stuck.
