This first photo is the focus of our attention today. Eileen is about 12 years old, in sixth grade most likely, about 1930. The physical photo I scanned is less than an inch square. Perhaps it was a school photo, but more likely, I think it was taken at a booth at a fair. They were popular in the 1930s... I have one of her and Dad later... This is my Mom, Eileen KINNICK, of course.
Just a couple of years after this, she started her daily diaries that she continued until cancer took her in 1999. For a link to a year of her diaries, see my post on her 91st Birthday Anniversary.
Just for the comparison, here she is, near her 80th birthday, in her last year or so.

Hi Mom!
Families are Forever! ;-)
My dad was, among other things, a professional photographer. Naturally, that means there are only two pictures of me in existence, before I turned twenty. I don't own nor have access to either of them. I'm so glad your mama had pictures and a diary. And I'm even more glad that you treasure them.

Visited your Mom's diary that you transcribed. That's really cool.
ReplyDeleteI love both pictures. I agree that the first photo looks like one of the photo booth pictures. Think we should do one day of just posting photo booth pictures. Wouldn't that be fun?
ReplyDeleteI love the photo booth picture. She reminds me of me... I wonder why? ;-)
ReplyDeletePerhaps she is your grandmother, Annette. Suppose that would do it! Thanks for stopping by! ;-)
ReplyDeleteBill, loved both pictures. Your mom had the good genes to age well --- she was lovely in both pictures.
