50th Anniversary?


Shirley Shelby Purswell sent the photo of Grandma and Grandpa and all the "kids".

I remember when the photo was taken and I want to think it was taken on their 50th anniversary. I could definately be wrong about that. I can see Buddy in the right frame of the photo hanging on the stair rail and I'd judge him to be five or six. That would make the date along about 1958 or 1959. Does anyone have the information on when Grandma and Grandpa were married? I think it would be nice to try to date the photo.

Shirley, like Geraldine, has sent along some really great photos. I would like to encourage you all to do the same... not just the old photos but photos taken more recently... of your families, your family activities. Mother's Day is coming up and I am quite certain there will be photos taken of our various family get-togethers. Be sure to send them along and we'll ALL enjoy them.

And in that vein, Happy Mother's Day to all of you!

I actually love seeing the old photos. It brings back a lot of memories and some of the pictures I'm seeing for the first time. I thinks it great to see how some of the following generations favor the past. The picture of Grandma Norris at age 16 reminds me of my niece Jenny Guy Heckathon (Sherry's daughter).
