1950's
Feb. 12, 1950: Grandmom in her wedding dress. I think that's the best man escorting her.
Feb. 12, 1950: Grandmom & Grandpop's wedding. L-R: Susan Butta (Grandmom's sister, my Godmother); Grandmom; Grandpop; George Richard (best man). This picture may have been taken on a day other than their wedding day.
1952: Grandmom holding me in our living room at 203 N. Curley St.
Late 1952, early 1953: why they did this to me, I'll never know.
1954: me. Grandpop wrote that Grandmom called this one "wind-up toy" (I guess because of the bow at the back of my dress).
1955: me in Grandpop's garden on Curley St. He always liked to plant Mexican Roses. I remember him repeatedly telling me not to really pick the flowers when he took the picture.
1956: me at the piano, living room of Curley St. (opposite wall from the 1952 photo, above). The ship (Queen Mary) was painstakingly made by Grandpop from a heavy-paper kit. It was one of my favorite things in the whole world.
Christmas, 1956: playing my new guitar in my really cool cowgirl outfit.
1957: me. Grandpop labeled this picture "Glamour Girl" when he emailed it to me.
1957: me and Aunt Janet on the back steps of Curley St.
early 1958: Looking from the alley toward the back of our yard (wooden gate & cinder block wall), in the snow. Grandpop took several pictures of this snowstorm, so it must have been a big one.
1958: me and Aunt Janet. I remember the photographer came to the house to take our picture. I think this might have been taken when we lived on Mayview Avenue.
Vincent Butta (Grandmom's father) at Aunt Mae's house on Joppa Road. Aunt Mae was Grandmom's sister, Carmella, who is in the group picture on the 1940's page.
