Carol Singer, a 64-year-old resident of Quakertown, shared with Glenside Local part of her mother’s copyrighted (though unpublished) 1996 autobiography, titled “Nobody Ever Gave Me an Old Computer”.

Her mother, Nancy (pictured above and below with Carol) spent part of her life in Glenside and is a descendant of the Diehl family which lived in a bygone estate on S. Easton Road in Cheltenham Township in the early 1900s. You can read our previous coverage of the family here.

Singer said she’s been putting the book’s pieces together for the past two years.

“If it is between red lines or in red brackets and the like, it is Carol. Otherwise, it is Mom,” she said, noting that her mother wrote on a word processor and designed the book’s cover herself.
