This didn't enlarge on the previous post so I'll try it again.

New Baby, Carolin

Sometimes it's hard to figure how to arrange everything into a smooth narative. Of course, with the blog format it is all backwards if one has not followed it post by post.
This page should probably have been grouped with the previous post.

The old back porch in the upper right, you can see how small it was, that is the railing in the lower left corner of the photo. Later it was removed and a nice deck replaced it. I liked to sit out there.

I don't know why she sent them off to San Francisco, perhaps they were having a spat.

Family of Three

This house looks very different than the one I knew. No hedge, few plants of any kind. The porch and chimney had to be removed. I'm not sure when it was done. I would guess from photos it was about 1940.

I loved to be the one to burn trash in the incinerator. A cause of air pollution it was banned. Dick seemed to think it was fun to climb on.

Baby Richard

Early photos of Dick with his parents, grandmother and great-grandmother.

Early Years

I think these were all taken early in their marriage, probably before Dick was born.

Marriage

I don't know when they became an "item", I did see two pictures dated 1932 but I don't know if Jim took them or if they predated their relationship. This picture was dated 1935, I didn't see any wedding pictures.

The chapel gave them a little book about its history.

Teenage Years II

After high school, Pat went to work in Gram's office. This is not a great picture but the best I could find.
It seems that while Pat was working for Gram, Jim was trying to get a start in printing. I assume that is what this photo is about since they both became printers.

The style book indicates that he was printing before he got married, in addition to other odd jobs he found to earn money.
