This page was created by and is dedicated to Zachary, Sarah, Samuel & Carson's grandmother Dorothy Sanson Hall. Sadly, Dorothy never knew her grandchildren, but we're sure she had a big part in assuring that they all arrived healthy. Dorothy died December 3, 1998 after a six-month battle with cancer. Since her retirement in 1992, she spent countless hours researching the geneology of the Hall and Sanson families. This page contains just a sampling of what she uncovered.
