My sister has all of the old pictures. We're going to gather up and have a printing party to "share the wealth" so to say. These are my parents. My Daddy was about 21 or so in his Marine Corps photo and Mudder was about 31. Her picture was taken for her college graduation. He was born in 1930 and she in 1933. He was a farmer and she was a school teacher. At the ripe of age of 60 he died from a brain tumor, she lived to 73 and passed away from heart failure, diabetes ect. He was the first to die in his family of seven, one sister has since passed away. My Granny said of him, "It's hard to lose a baby, but it is harder to lose one you've had for 60 years". That is one of the two comments she made to me that I will always remember, the other was unpleasant. Mudder was the last of her three siblings to go. She lost a baby sister and then her brother.
