Top two little girls, are me. As a baby, and my Kindergarten picture. The three old guys in the middle are Daddy's uncles, all over 100 years old. Great Uncle Lanty, playing the banjo, died this year, two days before the reunion. Savina and Curtis Samples are my great grandparents. If you've visited my About Me page, you would've seen the picture of Grandma and her sisters, but it's worth showing again.
Michael as a boy, reading. Okay, so its the
Sears catalog, but at least he was reading.

Mama wasn't too happy. Daddy was heading off to war. A Korean war veteran, Daddy was lucky, they sent him to Germany instead. Mama and I went with him. I was just a baby.
