“LOOK!” “WHAT I FOUND!” | Grandma’s Stories

Dec 18th “LOOK!” “WHAT I FOUND!”

If you can remember what “MEN” worn… when you see “Knickerbockers” …you know that this PHOTO…is a real TREASURE…just for age of PHOTO…but most importantly the people on the PHOTO…never looked so good…even with the old Knickerbockers???

In the photo …that is my younger… brother, DENNY and MELBA MICHAUD… and standing behind them is the bike… that my FATHER finally brought out to the GERMAN Saint Vincent ORPHANAGE… and of course …everyone wanted to ride it.

Melba was in the same grade as I was and we were good friends and also at least a year older than my brother DENNY. As I am thinking back to the time that this photo was taken, by me – – Melba and her sisters and a brother …came to live at the Orphanage some years after my brothers and I … came to the Orphanage… and then… Melba and her sisters and brother left maybe a year or two before I graduated from the eighth grade and then left.

When I look through… some of these old photos… some of the girls I knew back then…I often think of as… FAMILY…and at this time of the year …you get to wondering HOW they are …and WHAT they are doing…hopefully… they are all still alive and all doing well??? So… to all of my “Orphan Family” “Merry Christmas” – – ——HAPPY HOLIDAYS and wishing you all the best of everything in this coming NEW YEAR 2016! DV
