Old Photos...

Since I've been exposed to a lot of old family photos recently, I decided to inflict them upon you all...
Geraldine ("GeGe"), my great-grandmother

My great-grandfather, George Leonard ("Shag") Shultz
GeGe was dating a young man named Edward Wenneker, when he was among the many who were drafted for WWI. "Shag's" mother threw a going-away party for Edward & her son, and invited Edward's girlfriend "just because"... There, Shag and GeGe met and quite hit it off. After the war, Shag came home and married her! :)

Their daughter, Joan ("Grammy"), my grandmother

Joan and her sister Jean

My grandfather, Richard Indermill ("Dick"). He joined the Navy in WWII, but was too late to see combat.

Dick and Joan were married on this date:

The man third from left and the lady second from right are Shag and GeGe. They were avid opera-goers.

Grammy's cousin John served honorably in WWII and also in North Korea.

Aunt Suzanne, Mommy, Aunt Catherine, and Uncle John

Mom's family (the girl on the far left was a friend)

My great-great grandmother, Anna Chilton

Daddy as a little boy. Wasn't he adorable?!?! :)

Do you think this is where we got our "matching" ideas? :)

  1. What neat pictures of your family! It's even more neat that you know a little bit of their story! Your dad looks just like Stephen in the young picture of him!
