Wordless Wednesday - Back To School!!

As is noted on the front of this photo:

The Fourth Grade Class

Rockville, Maryland Elementary School

(click image to see larger view)

This photo was probably taken around 1949 or 1950

The young man with the circle around his head on the left is Vernon Keener

He was my Uncle and the second born son of Edna Keener
Vernon was born Sept. 29, 1939 and died June 12, 1997

The Keener Brothers

The word prompt for the 11th Edition of Smile For The Camera is brothers & sisters. Were they battling brothers, shy little sisters, or was it brother & sister against the world? Our ancestors often had only their siblings for company. Were they best friends or not? Show us that picture that you found with your family photographs or in your collection that shows your rendition of brothers & sisters. Bring them to the carnival and share.

Since I've not yet written much on my Keener family line, which is my Father's side of the family, I'd like to highlight them for this edition of Smile For The Camera.

Toothless grins, knobby knees and great looking hair!

This photo was taken in 1949

10th Edition - Smile for the Camera

The word prompt for the 10th Edition of Smile For The Camera is Costume? No, not as in Halloween. Costume as in dress in general; especially the distinctive style of dress of a people, class, or period. Show us that picture that you found with your family collection or purchased that shows the costumes of the rich to the not so rich, from the civil war to the psychedelic sixties. I know you have them, so share. Admission is free with every photograph!

This is Marjorie and Ethel Kidwell sisters of my Great Grandmother May Kidwell

No idea of the reason for their dress or the occasion - gotta LOVE the shoes OH and those hats!
