  3. I've forgotten about Olan Mills photo plans. Didn't we all have bangs like that at one time or another in our lives?

  5. AWWWW!! I can see every moment of your up-to-now in your sweet face. We had the Olan Mills plan, as well---in fact I spent a couple of years "booking" and reminding folks on our local phone line of their appointments. The photographer would come to a tee-ninecy motel nearby, and the whole county would be spruced up and shined for all the six-month and three-month plans.

    The one of my children that I remember most was made on July 20, 1969---the day Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. The photographer spread a little fluffy rug on a table before the backdrop, and all three kiddos lapped arms, looking West and behaving. The fun thing is that when I met Chris who was a fine photographer himself, all the grown-up three were at our house on the Alabama coast the weekend of the Moon Landing anniversary in 1989, and I have a splendid sepia-gold photo of all three of my twenty-somethings, arms linked and shiny.

  7. Yes indeed. There is not a one of us ladies who did NOT have bangs like that.

  8. I did not have bangs because I had wild, curly, uncombed hair. Haha
