1942 in Rawlins

On the back lawn in Rawlins.
Marie took the upper picture of Lois, Claudine with the twins in front. Below, Marie is in there with them on the left. Is that Geraldine in there? Lois has a different dress on now - or is that her? Someone was busy making all the matching dresses, I would guess it was their mom.



Lois' mother in her dress and apron getting set for some sort of race - this was before her back problems. Is that Claudine Reed second from the right and Lois fifth from the right? I wonder if it was a family reunion? With all the hair in bobby pins, I would guess this was on a Sat. afternoon.

Above and below: Marcie in the summer of 1942.
Good view of the up and coming neighborhood. They're in the new house- grass even! But if I remember right they had their first Sunday dinner there on the Sunday Pearl Harbor was bombed - Dec. 7, 1941. So they had all ready been in the house one summer.

Rawlins abt. 1940?

"Our Gang"
The twins are 4th and 5th from the left. Lois is on the far right. Anyone know the others? There are no names on this photo - but it sure is Rawlins isn't it?!! Talk about making the desert bloom as a rose....
She has pictures of a girl named Deta, who may be the one next to her.
