The Woman Behind the Memories

 

Before there was a book, there were memories.

 

Gladys “Bott” Gleaves carries a lifetime of stories—stories of family, childhood, community, faith, challenges, celebrations, and the people who made 649 Fogg Street more than just an address.

 

It became a place where memories were created, relationships were formed, lessons were learned, and family history unfolded.

 

Bott is the keeper of memories that span generations.

 

Through her eyes, readers are invited to step back in time and experience a world where family was at the center of everything.

 

Her memories provide a glimpse into the people and experiences that helped shape her family's identity and legacy.

 

649 Fogg Street: Through the Eyes of Bott was created to ensure that these memories do not disappear with time.

 

Bott's story reminds us that history lives not only in photographs and documents, but also in the stories shared around kitchen tables, during family gatherings, and from one generation to another.

 

Because sometimes the greatest legacy we can leave is simply the story of where we came from.
