First School Picture!
1944 – On my way home from school – Perpetual Help School on Linton Avenue, St.Louis, Missouri.
I may have been in “First Grade” and someone with a camera all set up – stopping some of the school kids and asking if they would like to have their “picture” taken “FREE” to give to their parents? “Mary Ellen McClarren”
Did I really understand “FREE” for your parents? NO! I must have given my address and some time later I’m guessing some one was at our house with the above picture. There must have been a fee, as nothing in this world is really “FREE!”
This is the only picture in my life time that I had been position in just a so-so pose . You can tell by looking at my hand and fingers! And take a look at the scarf – just so perfect in side coat. You know “KIDS” coming home from school have been running and playing and their clothes are not button and arranged “Picture Perfect!”
