Looks almost exactly like my babysitter, except younger. Agnes was a Czechoslovakian old lady who lived next door. A WW1 war bride, so about 75 when I was young. My parents trusted her to give me a good swatting when I had it coming; she also taught me how to pan-fry a steak to perfection and use a spinning wheel. Brilliant gardener, she knew the local legend Luther Burbank and had more than a few cuttings, including an apple tree with 8 varieties grafted onto it.

Same face, same BIG hands.
