Personal from the Editor - Herbert W Armstrong - November 1966

Herbert W Armstrong

I HAVE JUST COME from the funeral of one of our granddaughters whom Mrs. Armstrong and I loved very much. This particular granddaughter was very special to us, because of circumstances under which she was born, which resulted in a partial handicap through life. I always called her my "Princess." Her name was Carole Ann Mattson. At birth she weighed only three pounds and five ounces - which dropped to an even three pounds before she began to add weight. She could not have survived had she not been kept in an incubator for seven-and-a-half weeks. A chain of providential circumstances climaxed in her birth. Our elder daughter, Beverly (Mrs. James A. Gott), had become pregnant with her third child some weeks after Carole's mother had conceived Carole. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
