One of my brother's sons in-law asked me to tell him about John's childhood/youth when we were at John's funeral. I didn't know where to begin, and there wasn't much time at the funeral! So I told him I would write it down for him. My brother's funeral was in 1992. How am I doing?
But I have decided the time has come. I want to make our story into a picture book. With lots of pictures someone might actually read it! Now can someone recommend a good site on the internet wherein I might make a book, and where it wouldn't cost a fortune to make copies? Anyone?
We really were products of the Great Depression and "The War"......we never talked about WWII....we just talked about "the war"....It was very much a part of our lives from the time I was seven years old until I was almost 12.
I have this really cute picture of John and I with our mother Mary when I was about 2, John was 18 months older so he was about 3 1/2. If you look closely you will see we are standing in front of a blanket hanging on a clothesline....Does anyone still know what a clothesline is? This photo is a reminder that there wasn't money for a professional....but pretty cool that they had enough money to buy film. We're pretty decently dressed too.
