do you know who this is???

This is your great grandmother as a young lady  

 

Her name is Florence Means Petty Kelly and she is the mother of your 

Grandmother Lillian Petty Fortune Orr

The story is that she was such a young looking mother that when 

she and her daughter Lillian went out she told people they were sisters!!!!

They both worked at the telephone company in Hanford and Suisun and Los Gatos.

looking at old photos....

This is your grandfather Fred Fortune as a young man

Either when he was a trolley car conductor or when

he had the Fortune Taxi company.

blast from the past...

I always love looking at these old pictures and the wonderful clothes they are wearing.
Burton in his sailor suit and Sis in her pretty lace dress. What sweet smiles!!! And Elva in her ruffled dress and her fancy doll...probably has a china head.

Remember Pearl Harbor 1941

On the morning of December 7, 1941, Japanese forces attacked the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The surprise attack destroyed much of the United States' fleet, especially the battleships.

In 1941 I was in high school at Santa Maria CA where there were many Japanese students. It was such a shock when our friends were relocated to camps for the duration of the war.

old Yosemite photos...

Fred found these somewhere, probably taken in 1930 or so.
Get a load of the lace up boots!!!!!!
