I’m guessing this is from 1908-9

Early 1980s

Leola Greene (nee Helmer) was my paternal Grandmother. She was born in 1906 and passed away in 2002. She was loving, funny, sweet, positive and accepting. I scanned many pictures of her today and I will post more soon.

We’re Back….

Me, Meg and Kate 1963…

Well, I’m back anyway… My Dad lent me a bunch of Greene, Helmer and Arbuthnot family photos to scan and I have been busy scanning all day.

Sorry for my long absence… I was trying to find things besides my family photos from the 60s and 70s to post, and then I went on a three month long SimCity jag. The holidays also distracted me and then slipped by. That’s too bad because I had some good Christmas pictures to post. Next year perhaps…
