Anne Flavia's first week, 1958

These photos were made in Iowa City before Hayne and I moved to Buffalo, NY for his first teaching job at the University there.

Granny Reese (who is in the lower photo )came with her husband,
Tom F. Reese to Buffalo to help us move.  Anne travelled well since she was just two weeks old.

Austin reunion of Mother's family 1959

Left to right: Patsy Atwood Reese, Ann Atwood, Ruth Ricketts with Anne Flavia on her lap, and Donald Ricketts.  these were Mother's parents at the home of mother's sister Elna Hanks in Austin.

There are 4 generations of first daughters in the top photo.  Later on when Anne Flavia had a daughter Margaret Ellen Harrison, the five generations picture was made. By then Donald Ricketts has passed away.

Goose Island in south Texas, 1972

Ann and Bill (Thurston) Atwood loved their cabover camper and often took Anne, Bill and Margaret camping.  This trip was to Goose Island, near Rockport, Texas where there is a bird sanctuary and breeding grounds for the Whooping Cranes that migrate from Canada every year.

Ever since they were first married and lived in south Texas Ann and Bill loved the Gulf coast and hardly ever went anywhere else for a vacation for many years.

Camping in the Adirondacks, fall 1960

In the fall of 1960 when Bill was about 3 months old we went camping just after Labor Day when the summer rush was over in most parks.  Anne in particular had a wonderful time.  Happy memories for all 3 of us.

 

The five generations of first daughters

My granddaughter Margaret Ellen Harrison was born on February 13 in 1980.  Her mother, Anne, worked in my shop until the day before the birth.  Margaret was a very sweet baby and I called her
"my Valentine baby."

My grandmother Ruth Ricketts was still around, and when Margaret was about 2 weeks old we family women (who are all first daughters) got together for a 5 generations photo.

My long braids, 1979

This picture was made at Anne Flavia's first wedding.  She married Larry Harrison in our back yard at 6633 Campana.  I think the year was 1979. 

 I still have on of my long braids that were cut off later that year.

Anne continued to work in the shop with me for a good while.  We enjoyed working together, at that time my shop was on 8th avenue in south Fort Worth.
