This photo is hanging in the local grocery store around the corner from my house.
It shows the corner of which is now the busiest intersection in the Coachella Valley.



Another picture from the same store that shows an aerial view of my neighborhood when the streets were first were laid out.
Sometime in the late 50's.

My Aunt Shirley.
She pasted away last year. She was 86.



My mom always said she looked like Audrey Hepburn.

That's my grandmother Gertrude.
She passed away in 1988. She was 90 years old.
Her maiden name was Doremus.
The one in front, on the left, was Agnes. She died when she was only 25.
She was really good looking too.

That's a cool photo - really intriguing. Yeah, that younger girl does not look at all happy to be there.

Still digging though photos my mom had.
Found this one with my grandmother and 6 of some of her sisters. No brothers in this shot.
She was the youngest of 13. And is the one who looks like she doesn't want to be there.
I only met one of her sisters... Pearl. She's the one with the big hair and wearing the black bow.
She was a real character. She lived in San Pedro, California. And is buried next to her mom there.
Both of her sons worked in shipbuilding and died fairly young.
Unfortunately, I lost track of all their kids.
