I spent the month of March scanning photos from Aunt Joan's photo albums. This is my favorite. Grandma Mary took this picture with Joan's camera when I was two weeks old. Until this month, I had never seen it. Mom was 12 years older than her sister Marilyn, on the left, who is holding her son Tom, born about a year earlier. Joan, (Dad's sister,) on the right, was 3 years older than Marilyn. Joan is holding her son Tommy, who was 3 months old. If Tommy had been a girl, he would have been named Julie, but he wasn't a girl, so I got the name. Joan always took credit for that, but when I moved back to Utah about 20 years ago, I realized that in the 1950s, Julie was a very popular name, the equivalent of Sophia today. |
