Happy Birthday, Mom!

I love my mom so much. She has been so great in explaining our histories again and again, giving me pictures to scan, and is generally a good sport about most everything.




Ana, about 1945


Ana, 1954, this is the pic that Ruth Stemm based a watercolor on


Ana, 1952, reprinted in 1972 apparently
Ana (and friend) 1951
Ana in Pennsylvania, around 1951
Sometimes, I feel that I'm nothing like my mother. Then, I'll see a photo (like the one directly above) of her and see my own face looking back.  Sometimes, I feel I'm never so like her as when I'm at my most graceful.

Left: Ana joking around, unknown date Right: 1951 Frackville PA
Ana, 1961
Ana, about 1997
Thanks for being my mom and thanks for helping with this genealogy stuff!
