NOTE to all readers: This page is mainly intended for use by the Charles L. Shumway Family. Enjoy reading it, but if you are not a member of that family, please resist the desire to make changes. There may be a better website somewhere in which I can set this up, but this is it for now. Since I back it up daily, if it fails or is corrupted or removed, all is not lost.

PREFACE and INSTRUCTIONS: My father, Lafe Shumway, once put together a kind of a notebook for my siblings and me called "Find-A-Quote" in which he categorized quotations of famous people and family members; I think a few friends' quotes were also included. He also left blank pages in each of our copies so that we could add in quotes as we and our family members came up with them. My purposes in starting this Wikiquote page are 1) to share part of Dad's collection with you -- mainly just certain family quotes, chosen by me, and 2) to allow the possibility of Charles L. and Julia Myrtle Jennings Shumway family members adding in pithy, meaningful, and unique quotations from themselves and their posterity. I am pretty new to creating a wiki-type article, so please bear with me. I believe you'll be able to contribute by opening an account (go to the Wikiquote Main Page to do that -- if you already have a Wikipedia account, I think that will work) and then returning to and editing this page. If you'd rather not attempt that, just e-mail me your quotations. Please don't make changes to quotations already here; If you think you need to do so, please e-mail them to me.
