More Memories of my Sister Christine

Came across some more pictures - ones that Christina had me scan for her.  Thought I'd post them in case anyone might be interested.

Tommy, Christina, and Cyril (c. 1942)

the three with mom and dad c.1945

Mom and dad must have been able to afford pictures more when there were only three kids - when the rest of us (8 surviving of 10 births) five came along we didn't get professional pictures taken except an occasional individual picture or group picture taken at school.

Being ten years older than me, Christina graduated from high school and left Garden Valley to live with some friends of the family (usually single mothers that needed someone to watch the children while they worked) or with family (Great-Aunt Kate (Sarah Catherine Tuttle Moore) who was in her 80's and still living in her home in Emmett.  She was living there when I was in high school in the mid 1960s.

Christina met Frank Williamson in 1968 and they married in Winnemucca MV on July 19th, 1969.

At Reba's 1993 wedding to Lyle

I seem to be missing pictures from the late 1990s and early 2000s.  We just both got busy with our lives and families and only got together for family reunions, high school reunions and deaths.  Here's when our mom passed away in 1993...

Cyril, Jerry, Chris, Adrian, Me, Tom and TIm (Roger missing)

And when our brother Adrian died in 1999....
