(Toddler pictures, Shelby or Charlotte - early 1940's. In the top picture she is wearing the "didee" that she was reported to have danced off on occasion. Indicating bad habits to come she also is said to have picked up (and eaten) cigarette butts off the sidewalk.)
(Charlotte or Shelby, early 1940's.)
(Finding Easter Eggs - probably Charlotte or Shelby - 1945 - 47.)
(Isabel and Brenda at Lafayette Apts where family lived in mid-late 40's. These were THE apartments in Shelby during that period. I lived on down Lee Street across from Shelby Millwork and thought that apartment life at the Lafayette was exotic. This is where Brenda rode her skates off the porch and got a concussion. About this time Don Gibson was learning to play the guitar across the street. Brenda and I lived in the Lafayette in Fall and Winter of 1961 after getting married in Aug of that year. )
(Shelby 1948 - 1949. Eight and ninth birthdays.)
(Shelby - 1953 - 1954. Brenda is the one with the really short hair. In later years she would not wear anything that revealed her arms.)
