I was looking at the photo below, of my beautiful mother, and I thought it would be fun to compare our photos. Then I thought it would be fun to drop in photos of Dad and his mother. All of us in these photos were young. I was 18 and a freshman in college. Mom was around 20. Dad and Cordelia were early 20's. (I love the photo of Cordelia because she was really lovely, and I got my high forehead and curly hair from her...) At their wedding, Mom was barely 23 and Dad was 26. In the photo of Bruce and Dad, Bruce was about 25. In the photo at the very bottom, where Bruce is in uniform, we were in college, or just out of college.
