Harry and Barbara (aka Harry and Bobbie!)


I had an Uncle Harry - and his wife's name was Barbara.  So I'm fond of saying that I have an Uncle Harry and an Aunt Barbara - even though she always went by Bobbie.

Funny how cigarettes and full ashtrays are so frequent in old 50's photos!

My Uncle Harry was something of a loner - not too sociable - but he looks pretty friendly here - and I remember him being friendly - at least I don't remember being afraid of him or anything.

And he was always good to my mother - his "little sister!"

My mother had her eye surgery over 2 years ago, and it was scheduled on Uncle Harry's birthday.  She felt like he was watching out for her!!

 A nice thought.
