Remembering warmly my maternal grandparents today. They were married on this date in 1921. 96 years ago. They had three beautiful daughters, each of whom had wonderful families of their own. All three of their daughters have passed on. Their descendants continue to live productive and remarkable lives. My mother, Katherine, is on the far left in 1st photo and on the far right in the second photo. My guess is she is about nine years old here, which would date these pictures around around 1932. My grandparents are not together in these photos because they probably were taking the pictures of each other with their children. It’s interesting to speculate on the non-smiling faces displayed. I’ve noticed this seriousness on other photos of the era. I guess it wasn’t considered proper to smile. A far cry from the contemporary approach to family photos.
