Looking Back

Bridges Family

L to R Backrow: Joe, John, Huston, Front Row: Bertha, Gussie, Mary

John Bridges

Cousin Alan Stevens sent this last year. It may have been taken at the Pigg family home.

Backrow: Aunt Leta, Grandma Bridges and my mother Edith

Front row: Daisy is 6 months older than I am so I assume she is standing in front of her mother, Aunt Leta.  Is the little boy in front of Grandma, Wayne? (help please?)

I am on the right standing in front of my mother.

John Bridges, Richie Hamm, Ella (Rongey) Bridges

Grandpa and Grandma Bridges, with grandson Richie in front of their home in 1961.

Paul Bridges

This is my half brother.  He was born around 1949.  

I would like to make contact with Paul and my half sister Garnet.  We have never met.

Dorothy Marie Bridges, age 4

I think this is the house in the background in the photo on the left and upper left side of this page.

Students at Big Barren School

One room school at Big Barren.  This was taken in the early 1950s I think.  Perhaps in the spring of 1952 or 53?  I believe it was before I arrived in August 1953.
