Found Memories in Moms Pics

 I had a couple of 

photo albums that still

had pics in there, that

mom had. I had just sat them

back when mom past

and the other day I went 

through them.

This is my dad on 

the left, in Ghost

Town Calif.

He was stationed 

in San Diego at the time.

My mom and older brother

in Tombstone Az. 

My guess, this was taken  on 

a trip from Calif to Georgia

visit family. 

Before I was born of course.

Speaking of me...

my older brother and I 

in Calif.

WOW....I have NO CLUE

how my dad got me to 

hold this thing!

I don't do fishy smelling

fish.

I forgot this pic even existed.

The pic below is of 

Wendy. She was the little

girl that lived next

door to me, that I babysat with

and spent a lot of my time with.

Wendy of course is turning

49 or 50 this Sept.

Yes, she is still part of 

my life.

Who is Tom Biggers?

Well, Tom was my great 

uncle. My moms uncle on 

her dads side. 

Tom was a local newspaper

reporter/writer

for Cedartown, Georgia. 

He also taught little league

baseball.

The field is named after him

in Cedartown. 

One day, while on the field to 

teach the league, he was

instructing the kids,

he turned and kids were tossing

the ball, one did not realize my

great uncle was standing there,

he threw the ball, hit Tom 

in the back of the head

at the base of the skull.

Tom took two steps and 

fell over dead. 

I hate to think of what

emotions that child lived

with after that. 

I remember my great uncle

always passing out 

1/2 dollar pieces to us

when we visited. 

Sometimes he would hide them outside

my great grannies house for 

us to look for. 

I still have contact with 

his daughter and granddaughter 

via FB. His daughter runs

a Merle Norman store in 

Cedartown and her and 

her hubs has a local 

radio station. 

I love found memories.

Now I need to start going through

mom and my pictures to 

local pics of my younger

brother who will be turning 

60 in June. 

Party time and pics

of him on a video.

Do you have older pics

of family members that you 

remember from you childhood

or teens?
