Perhaps I’m a little late to wish everyone a happy holiday, but I can present to you a photograph of a happy holiday. This was taken at Christmas 1970 at the home of Dan and Blanche Graham in Harvey, Illinois – my first Christmas!

Front Row: Patricia Graham with doll, Blanche Graham holding Byron Graham (me, age 5 months), Daniel Graham holding Darryl Graham.

Back Row: Connie Graham, Danny Graham, Marie Booker, and Linda Booker with doll.

Connie, Danny and Patricia are all the children of Leroy Graham, one of Dan and Blanche’s sons.

Darryl and Byron are the children of William Graham, another son.

Marie and Linda are the children of Janice Booker, née Graham, daughter of Dan and Blanche.

Happy holidays!
