Claxton boys in boat w Joe rowing (2).jpg


The boy at the front is my cousin Tony Smith, who died last year.
We don't know who the one looking down into the water was.
The one facing backwards (red hair) is my nephew Dave Molnar (2 yrs older than me)
The boy with the paddle is my brother Joe C Smith

Joe died in 1966 from burns sustained during his tour of duty in Vietnam.
He was 21, and had been over there less than a year.

Grandparents Anniversary, 1954

My Granddaddy was paralyzed from a stroke, and lived for 11 yrs bedridden.
Grandmama is standing next to him, with my Aunts: (L-R)
Lucille (the eldest daughter) Judy (her real name was Julia Mae... she didn't like it)
With my Mama, Margaret on the right.
Mama with teeth.jpg

Until I came across this photo, I'd never seen Mama with teeth.☺

These photos were taken in 1954, I was born in 1955, I was in this picture,
But you can't see me, I was in her belly.
