I Can't Believe I'm Related to These People

My father, wearing my mother's dress, while my grandmother looks on. I know the dresses are hideous; it was the 1970s.


A lot of little boys in bow ties and crew cuts. No idea who they are, but I am sure they are related to me.


Great Uncle Charlie, Nanny's brother, having a drink of gasoline at Bonne Bay Pond.


It's no wonder I turned out as I did.

Verrrry Strange family indeed! This from the cousin who takes pictures of peeing dogs and must pull her hat down over her eyes! I have a feeling those little boys may be Unlce Ben's grandboys. Maybe cousin Elaine will know. they're awfully cute.

I drew a blank on those little boys until I read cousin Deborah's comment about the Knee grandsons - by George, I think she's got it!

Love your Dad's taste in dresses....
