Tomorrow would have been my nephew Bruce’s birthday. He was Ernest and Ginny’s second son, your cousin Danny’s younger brother. He was a nice young man. At the time of this picture, Mark, Kim, and I were living with Frank and Marcella in the same house where Alline now lives. I think it was a Sunday afternoon.
Bruce, and maybe his whole family, were visiting. I wanted to get pictures of the children to send to Bill who was overseas in the navy then. In order to get good pictures, we had to go outside in the sunshine even though it was a cold day. We had already snapped a few shots when Bruce asked if he could have his picture taken with Kim. I was a little uneasy because she was little, and the concrete porch was hard. But you can see in the picture how Bruce’s hands are protecting her from falling. I didn’t know it at the time, but when I asked Ginny if I could share this picture, she said that Bruce always liked babies.
It’s nice to have this little memory.
