“Old Times for Brother Tom – Guess WHO”

Oct 23rd “Old Times for Brother Tom – Guess WHO”

This is Melba Michaud and Andy Bakota – just received the correct spelling – Thanks to Mr .Wonderful – just like “Superman” he is right there when you need him!

This is not needed – but left for a reminder of the quick action when you ask Mr. Wonderful for something!…(just can not remember how to spell his last name – so will wait to hear from Mr. Wonderful, himself – he knows everything!

…and

The next two Photos were also on the same roll of film. This may have been in the year 1951 and my knowledge of taking good pictures was not up to par – as the camera was an old box type and I did not receive too many instructions.

What I remember, when I received this camera, was that I should roll the film forward – advancing to the next number, as there only so pictures that you can take, per roll, while looking for that next number in the small red area on the back side of the camera.

I can not say that I always remembered to do that, as I would take a few Photos and also, then let someone else take a Photo, like you see a picture of me – and so, the last of these Photos – that were taken, are all kind of blurred together.

….and starting from the left side of this PHOTO is the wife of Mister Andy B…. in the above Photo and the small child in the center of the PHOTO, is the big attraction, and is their little baby.

Next to Andy’s wife is Sister Celestine and as for as I knew then, they were not to have their Photos taken, but I did have a good shot of a good picture – but then, thought that maybe, I might get into trouble, so I did kind of move the camera to the right, ever so slightly ,and so this is what I got – a panorama of a good blurr.

This is ME and I am on that above PHOTO – just to the left and this is where one person, taking a picture and not knowing and or did not turn the film to the advance spot – to be ready for the next shot and with lack of communication, causing some of the blurr.

This is before I graduated as this is the long hair the NUNS did not like to see, and I had to get a permanent to please them. They gave me the money to go to a Ragsdale Beauty Shop on a Saturday so as to not miss any School – they said it would grow fast and be the same length in less than a year – because I wanted long hair on my Graduation Photos.

That did not happen – the hair does not grow that fast – a lesson that I did learn – never believe everything that you are told – when the end product of the situation benefits the other party!

“If by any chance………. you may know the names of the others in the above Photos – be sure to respond – so that we will all know – – Thanks!”
