The four of us


About 1944 we had a family portrait made of the 4 of us:  Thurston (my dad) me, Anna Louise (Mother) and little Bill.  Daddy's family called him "Bill" most of his life; I am not sure why.  But when my brother William Thurston came along everybody called him "little Bill."

I am sure Mother made the dress I am wearing here. It was made of some kind of sheer floral print and I think it was my Easter dress that year.  She made most of my clothes; after her workday and her housekeeping, she would stay up nights sewing clothes for us.
