Deborah Lundbech's photos with the keyword: Joan Illingworth

Back in time again (see the preceding two photos in my stream) and this time Joanne is riding away from the Wall Street wall and toward her back garden. This driveway was between her home and her grandparents home so this photo was probably taken by one of her grandparents - Charles or Sarah (Halkard) Grimshaw. The photo is not very good and badly faded but still has charm, I think.

L to R: May (known as Jill) Illingworth, about 17 yrs old, her sister Joan (later known as Joanne) Illingworth and their Aunt Freda who was Fred Grimshaw's 2nd wife - his first wife died in childbirth a year after they were married. Fred and Freda lived in Texas. He died in the 1960s on a visit back east.

Joanne Illingworth c1933, Wall Street, Springfield, Vermont.

Harry Potter fans - is that Malfoy the teacher has her arm around? My mother-in-law Joanne is the cutie second from left, third row back. Her second husband Bob, is the blonde boy behind her right shoulder. Her first husband, Ron, must have been home sick that day because he was the same age and in her class.

This is one of a series of Joan (later Joanne) taken on the same day. Joanne always disliked these pictures. She came down with a bad case of mumps later that day and remembered feeling terrible during the photo session. She also always thought she looked like a chipmunk because her cheeks were already swollen. I still think it's very cute.

Her graduation picture. Springfield High School, Vermont 1938. I don't know who did the hand-tinting but it's nicely done.

I love the bohemian look of my mother-in-law on the left - appreciated more when viewed large. Joanne Illingworth, Ronnie King and Helen Beardsley, leaving High School on Park Street, Springfield, Vermont.
