Easter 1942 Mother, Daddy, Bill and Me

I found more photos from when Bill was a baby.  He was born when I was 4 and he looks to be about 6 or 8 months old.  So I was 4 or 5 years old.   It looks like we had a great old car with a running board.  I wish somebody would comment and tell me what model of car that was.

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.
