Brenda Matthews likes to be organized. She says it unclutters her mind. Her assortment of color-coded binders in her home and knack for archiving her father Sgt. Charles J. Shaw II’s documents proved to be useful to the public too.
“If you look at my house, you see everything is in a binder. You can trace my life all the way in a binder . it’s just a habit of mind or a hobby whatever you want to call it,” Matthews said.
In the fall, the 71-year-old approached the
Bowers Museum to see if it was interested in showing Shaw’s paraphernalia that told his life story in the military and in Santa Ana’s Little Texas.
