grammie & dad, 1943 - a photo on Flickriver

grammie & dad, 1943

            it's a dark and rainy afternoon, and I've realized that with the number of drips I've got on the boat, i shouldn't store any old photos there -- so i'm at my office, scanning some misc. prints

this is my dad (Ward) & grandmother (Lois), I think the year in 1943 -- they lived in Maryland, although I think this was taken somewhere further south, when they were on a trip visiting my grandfather during the war, I think he was stationed in Georgia?  (note, Dad thinks this might have been in Spartanburg, SC)  I absolutely love Dad's striped overalls...

Incidentally, the dress Grammie is wearing (dark blue velvet, for the record) first belonged to her mother, my great-grandmother GramMay, and I later wore it to my high school formal in 1984. One dress lasting through four generations -- impressive! I've still got it stored away somewhere, although it's not really in wearable shape any more, the threads holding it together have pretty much disintegrated...
