A life in photos

So far the photos on this page are all taken after 1950. This is not by design but rather by the conditions of the lockdown and the time anyone has to go through the boxes of photos and letters that Anna kept. Hopefully we will rectify that situation at some point.

 

I also decided to create a separate page for Anna's two years and ten months at Rush Court nursing home. This in no way suggests these years were not part of Mum's life. For sure it was a new phase but it also had great richness and a rather benign tenor that had eluded much of her earlier years.

Getting married win Naples was so much fun they did it twice: with the US Navy and at the Naples Town Hall. With June Dunbar in attendance and photo by Jack Dunbar. 1954.The full set of photos is on the Naples Wedding page on this website.
