Suprise visit
 

A few weeks back a cuz of mine stopped by, Guess had been about 60 years since I'd seen him. Anyway, he visited my Sis & hub a few days later. Sent me a photo of them. Made from a phone, which some folks do not understand that you can change the settings. So the photo won't be a whole screen full and more.
Anyway can someone clean the photo up? Lots of noise or what ever in it.
I can't see well enought to do it.
If so, please give me an email add. Tnxs

I'll take a shot at it buster.

Tnx

Sounds like a great surprise visit! Looking forward to the pic :)

OK. Here's the photo after Bruce cleaned it up. SIS got the looks and brains in the family. This might be TMI. She has a phd in Microbiololy, And chemeresty. Also a masters in something else. She and JIm both taught at MSU. The he got an offer from La. power & light, So they moved to the neu awlins area, where she was one of the deans at Holly Cross collage in Algers, LA. Jim was also a fixed wing pilot and roto wing.
AND the damn spell checker not working in crome. Thanks Ginger.

Nice pic, thanks for sharing :)

:)

Nice to see you both!

Hi Buster's sis!

You have an interesting family Buster. A bunch of doers!

Had a brief email from cus yesterday. HIs wife had some real estate in Louisville, MS. Lost all in storm. That's his home town also. They live in Oxford.
He also sent me a scan of old photo of mom's side of family. Anyone interested I'll post.

Of course we're interested. :D

I am! :D

Let's see the maiden name frame.

Sorry about the storm damage your cus is dealing with.

Here ya go.
Ok the ladies are my mom’s sisters, but the one on right. Martha, she married the only boy in bunch. Uncle Woody. From left are Willie and husband Max. Whom I disliked, a damn car salesman. Next is my mom, Bonnie Kate and Dad, Ed. Rosalie and Orma.
Thelma and Henry. Last were Martha and Woody. One sister is missing, named Jewel. I never meet her or know anything about her. She went to D.C. in the war and maybe never came home. Grand pa is missing. So I guess this was made while I was in Army. He passed on then. I also don’t remember the Cherry tree in photo.
Once I went and stayed with Aunt Willie, in Birmingham, Al. Only thing I remember is riding the train there and her taking me to a deli that had wooden barrels of olives.
Country boy goes to town. Aunt Thelma was mother of cus who came by and sent me this photo.

Aunt Thelma, your cousin's mom, seems to have the closest family resemblance to your mom. Were they closest in age or not?

ETA: "Orma" ... unusual.

So it's mid-sixties, Buster?

My grandmother's name is Willie.

I guess early 60s while I was away.I have no idea as to age. All are gone..

Update from Lance. Reba's sister lost everything in Louisville including family home they all grew up in , barn, corn crib, and four vehicles. Also lost 7 acres old beautiful oak trees. So Reba and I have been there helping out savaging what was left. What a mess.
This part was in answer of question of what he retired from. From where they lived, I was thinking maybe Foggy Bottom. Ha
I spent 26 years with IBM and 16 with Lockheed Martin. I was a thermal analysis guy designing cooling systems for the Navy submarine electronics. We lived in New York for two years and Virginia for 40 years.

Lots of smart people in your extended family, but your dog is the one smart enough to have an opinion. ;)

Tnxs, I think :jig:

Sorry, meant to say your dog is the only one smart enough NOT to have an opinion. ;)
