Have tons of pictures but these warm my heart as no others (not quite anyway). Please post yours :cool:

1957 ~ Favorite grandparents, my mom's parents, Fonzy & Mazie Wilson. Salt of the earth people.
Pop was an over the road trucker and Mamaw sold furniture for Tepper's, a local store.
Brother, sister, me center with ball, cousin Sharon back left ... gone now, she was a month older than me.

1962 ~ Brother and me (left). We're brothers. Cricket box above for Pop's fishing expeditions.

1979 ~ Mom (45) and Dad (49). Photo's taken within a couple of months of a terrible automobile accident.
Involved a Dow Chemical tanker truck virtually stopped on the interstate one moonless stormy night in Mississippi.
The accident would take my father and cripple and disfigure the strongest, most determined woman I've ever met in my life.

I don't have any to post. But that is Brandy in my profile picture. She had only one eye. Lived to old age. Picture was probably 1976-ish.

@Naturally Your grandparents look like such nice people. I am so sorry about the tragedy of your parents. That's heartbreaking.
