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.
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?
