When I hear a liberal blow-hards go on about how the Republicans and Faithful are ruining this country, I know their right. But I also know the only American Saint is a Republican, Faithful, and my Mother.
Ginny Bridle-Russel
Ginny Bridle-Russel was born Virginia “Ginny” Bartlett, a direct descendant of Joshia Bartlett who penned his name on a little document known as the Declaration of Independence for New Hampshire.
Ms. Bartlett Goes to Plymouth
Virgina grew up on the outskirts of Concord, New Hampshire with her sister, Nancy, mother, Betty, and father, John. Little is know of those young years, like Jesus, her youth is shrouded in mystery. Though we are assured she got striate A’s in grade school and always brought an apple for her teacher.
After graduating from Concord High, she attended Plymouth State collage and gained an education that would lead to her life’s mission in child care. She also meet her first husband, Allen Bridle, on the snow capped campus.
After marriage, Ginny and Allen moved to Allen’s hometown of Hampton, NH, and the couple gained employment in the Epping, NH community. While Allen worked in the public school system, Ginny opened her own daycare “The Giving Tree,” named after her favorite children’s book by author Shel Silverstein.
The couple gave birth to two sons. Their first royal air to the Bridle thrown, known as Earth’s Greatest son, was followed four years later by John Robert Bridle.
In Every Life a Little Rain Must Fall
Life happens in the most unexpected ways and with no forewarning Allen passed away. Left a single mother in a world over run with single mothers, Ginny moved forward against the tides of fate.
The sharp pitfalls of reality are not kind but she was up to the challenge. She had no other way, her love for her boys and humans as a whole, kept her on a steady path. She carved out a life for herself, sons, and anyone lucky enough to meet her. In respects to the Bridle name, she got active in her local community and became a well known figure in Hampton’s present history. Achieving both seats on the Selectmen and School Board Committees.
In these busy years, Ginny even found time to love again with the Rochester gentlemen, Theodor Russel. The pair held a long engagement and were married early in the new century.
Though Ginny’s list of traits is as long as the bible itself, she is most known for her infinite patience. In all her years of Daycare, only one child has ever been kicked out of her school, her very own Earth’s Greatest Child.
Ginny to the Present
Today, Ginny still lives in Hampton, NH. She was a town Select-person for as long as anyone can remember, and now as of Jun. 2010, hold a seat on the School Board.
She is a modern day farmer politician, pulled from her duties and thrust up into the halls of government. She runs a non-profit day care, out of the Episcopal church her children were baptized in.
Ginny volunteers at a local soup kitchen and has been known to open her doors and living space to anyone in need. She also finds time to counsel group sessions for families who have lost a loved ones.
She is the kind of person that will do anything in her power to help out anyone and the kind of saint known for a bottomless well of understanding and patience, often tested by her eldest. She is also the kind of American you should know.
