• Notes

  I recently found out that "Werdna" was named for her father Andrew - because "Werdna" is Andrew spelled backwards! My mother's half sister, Philip Truax' daughter, filled me in on this detail. I found it very interesting. I had always assumed that it was a just very old fashioned name that I had not heard of. Fun to know the back story!
