I can remember how mom hated how she looked in this photo because her mother had
forced her to wear a dress and put a silly bow in her hair. Unfortunately, I could not get a
good scan of the photo of mom and her sister in which they both were dressed like this by their
mother who was a seamstress. Mom was always more of a tomboy, while her sister Loretta loved
dressing in frilly dresses.
