3/17 Happy St Patrick’s Day ……

 

……..and Happy Birthday Grandmom

If my maternal grandmother were still alive, she would have been 106 years old today! She has been gone over 20 years. I thought I would share some old pictures of her…….

My grandmother (on right) with her sister who died in 1918 flu epidemic……   

My maternal grandmother’s family about 1915. Front row sitting (left to right) are my great-great grandmother, Virginia, her daughter, my great grandmother,  Emily (Emma), and my great-grandfather George.

And my grandmother when she met my grandfather in the late 1920s….

I need to go through more boxes of photos to find later pictures. She did NOT like to have her picture taken (and she was NOT one to have angry at you)…..

Gone, but not forgotten….

Happy Birthday G’Pop

If my grandfather (lovingly called G’Pop) were still alive…. he would have turned 106 years old today. He has been “gone” almost 19 years…but I still think of him often. I would like to share some pictures of him…..

As a young man……

With my grandmother (G’Mom)…

       

With my dad ….. 

In Rome, Italy….

With my dad and brother……

G’Pop (1903-1990)

Gone but not forgotten….
