One of the many projects i created for myself, enough that i will not ever complete most of them, was scanning photos from mother’s and aunt’s albums. i began rather well, but it has lay fallow for quite a while. So here we go, from Aunt Betty Kate Hall’s 1948 photos.

And once again, my futility in arranging graphics is abysmal. So to hell with it. i had the photos arranged on the draft, but when i published the photo numbering was jumbled. i think you can figure it out. i quit.

This highlights a Photo 1 is my Aunt Evelyn Orr with my cousin Tim. It is in Orlando, Florida in 1948 long before it became another metropolis of entertainment and Navy, back when they orange groves, not thrill rides. Photo 2 is my Aunt Bettye Kate Hall (these came from her photo islands) with cousins Butch and Tim Prichard. The Orrs and Halls were visiting my Uncle Bill and Aunt Colleen Prichard. Photo 3 notes the names. Uncle Pipey Orr and Uncle Snooks Hall are included. Photos 4 and 5 are the likely reason for the visit: Cousins Bill (Butch) and Tim Prichard. Photo 6 is cousin Bill with his mother in the background. Aunt Bettye Kate noted “See bird” at the top: i’m thinking the predicts Bill’s later love for quail hunting. Photo 7 is Aunt Colleen with Butch. Photo 8 is the Prichard family at the time. The family grew to eight, three boys and three girls. Photo 9 is in the backyard of our home on Castle Heights Avenue with Butch about to run over Tim on my tricycle. i am in the background going up the back steps. This is a rare photo of our house before it was added on in 1956 (i think). The back porch was a wonderland for playing when it rained. The door in the center led to the basement. Great memories.
