Van Earl and Shirley Chambers were born of the silent generation, like many, of humble beginnings. Running water and indoor plumbing were a rarity in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in north Georgia where they grew up. From there they embarked on a life together which took them and their growing family into the 21st century, but holding dearly to the values and virtues of the early 20th century, all the way. They were of the Silent Generation. And though that generation has long passed, its characteristics remain true with their family today, as it did with the two of them in the 1930's and 40's. Through it all, they were bound by the love of their homeland , their family, and of each other. This is their story.
