Grandma

I will attempt to up load a picture of my grandmother and her friends from long ago, like 1912 or there abouts. Wait while I try. . . .  Okay, The girl in the middle of the back row is my grandmother, Ruth Roberts, she seems to be having a good time. They are apparently having some kind of party or get together. It would have been on the lower east side of Milwaukee, not too far from Astor and Knapp Streets because that is the area they lived in. It was a fairly new area back then and I don't think there was an upper east side at that time, or it was probably being built.
         In the front row on the right is Elizabeth Morgan, she has her arm behind that guy, and where is his left arm, and hand? It seems the girl on the left (Elizabeth's sister) isn't very happy about this situation. And his smile, that's no ordinary smile, that's the smile a guy whose wildest dreams are finally coming true. Is Elizabeth tickling him? So much going on in this picture, it's one of my favorites.
      But it was just a passing moment, over in a minute, a situation that was over in a minute and eventually forgotten. Except that it was caught on film, and will now live on forever in digital form.
