c. 1951: Aunt Jan's Wedding - Mom Putting on the Garter

Aunt Jan's wedding, May 26, 1950. Here's my mom putting the garter on her sister's leg. Janice Versteeg was marrying James Hampson. I don't know who the other women are - friends of my aunt.

Feb 22, 1951: Sheryl, Dad, Mom, and tricycle

My first tricycle. I wasn't as brave as Kathy was. I was probably scared, although I loved riding the trike later. In the picture are Ted, Betty, the tricycle, and Sheryl. It was in an envelope that was printed February 22, 1951. That would make Mom 7+ months pregnant with Kathy. I can't tell from the print date when the photo was taken. The dates weren't marked or printed on the photos. The picture was taken on the patio behind our house.
