Another great picture...

One of my cousins back in Chicago, ,was going through some of his pictures, of all us cousins on my moms side...there were seven of us...the pic shows us all out at Cedar Lake, outside of Chicago...we had all been swimming, and are all standing there in our bathing suits, and swim goggles, and some of the boys have their swim fins...my grandmother is also in the pic, proud of her brood of grandchildren...

That pic is so precious to me...because it shows all of us kids together, as when we were so young and happy together...

Now I am not as old as you Westy, but still three of those seven cousins are dead, as well as my grandmother...two of them died young, my brother at age 34, and my cousin Denise, also dead at age 34...and my cousin Jerry died in his late 40s...

I guess that is why that pic is so precious to me...simply because so many of them are now gone, and its just nostalgic to look at the pic, and relive some of the wild and good times we cousins all had together...

Great pics - thanks for bringing them here Westy.

For whatever the reason, I truly do enjoy seeing family pictures. They do not bore or disinterest me...I like seeing our country's past.

Please keep posting those who went before me.
