Via Flickr: Her mother-in-law on the left. My wife's grandmother died early last year, and the family has been passing around her collection of photos. After all were done, I got them and the remainder went in the trash. I don't know many of the people in the shots, but loved them for the time they were taken, in the fifties mostly. I hope you enjoy them, too.
