Mom circa 1950
It is one of the photos that I look at and think “Is that me, or Mom?” Except that I never owned a checked cap embroidered with Fran on the peak or those funky mid-century fashions, it really could have been me–same hair, same face, same soft arms.
It must have been taken at summer camp or on holiday. Doesn’t Mom look like she’s trying to be serious but wants to laugh? I wonder who snapped the picture?
