I really don't know who this is.  A wild guess would be Aunt Maude with Bruce riding the horse.

Here's what I think.  I think the woman on the left is my Grandmother, Delsie Warnock.  I don't know who the man is.  The middle woman is Aunt Maude, and the woman on the right is Aunt Ethel.  I'm pretty sure.  Aunt Maude lived with Nana. (Our name for our Grandmother)  Aunt Ethel lived in the same town, Reedley, Ca., but had her own house.  I think she was married once, but I don't know what happened to her husband.  She also had a different last name which I can't remember.
I'm not sure who this is.  If I had to make a guess, I would guess it is Aunt Maude and somebody.  Anybody got any ideas?
This is a picture of my Mother.  Don't know what I've told you about her.  Her name was Ola Joyce. Her maiden name was Warnock.  I'm guessing this is a picture of me.

Al & Connie's Wedding


Oh, my!  Oh, my!  This is a true treasure.  This is a Wedding Book for Al and Connie's wedding.  I'm not going to take a picture of every page.  On the inside cover it says in bold letters, "The Frank Herschede Co."  8 Fourth St. West, Cincinnati, Ohio.  The book is called, "Our Wedding Memories."  The book has a copyright date of 1940.  The wedding was held on July 23, 1943, between Albert Wiswell Badanes and Corinne Claire Stollmaier.  It was in Trinity Church in Boston, Mass.
Do you know what I have decided to do?  I'm going to copy each page of the book.  It is beautiful.  I will also promise you I will put the book in a plastic cover to protect it.
I still think it is going to be nicer if I scan each page in the book.  Remember, you can click on the page and make it larger.
Is this beautiful or what!

I'm sorry, I am cutting off a little of the right hand side, but I think you can get the idea of what it is saying.
There were not a lot of guests at the wedding, but there sure were a lot of gifts.  Notice the check in front of each gift.  I have to believe that was Connie checking them off as she sent the Thank You card.
