As
a tribute to my Scottish mother, the late Josephine McMurtrie Johanson, who
passed away ten years ago this month and with Mothering Sunday coming up, I am
offering the e-book version of “The Scottish Connection: A Journey Back –
Mini-memoir” FREE for a limited time only.
In
this nostalgic illustrated memoir I share memories of my 1978 journey back to Scotland

| My mother, the late Josephine McMurtrie Johanson |
Excerpt from The Scottish
Connection: “A little way out of Aberfoyle we found the lodge on the
Craigenveoch estate where my mother and family had lived. On warm, summer
evenings she, Jack and Ray leaned out of their bedroom windows, watching their
parents sing along with friends to gramophone music as they rowed across Loch
Ard. The loch was described by Sir Walter Scott as a ‘beautiful sheet of water
… a spacious mirror’.”
