railroad. All of the photographs for PIANO STORIES were taken at the historic Bucks County, PA home where her Quaker 4th great grandparents lived in
the late 1700s-early 1800s.
"Walking. I am listening to a deeper way. Suddenly all my ancestors are behind me. Be still, they say. Watch and listen. You are the result of the
love of thousands." - Linda Hogan
