Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES, OR ANY OTHER PRINTED MATERIALS My mother visiting a friend on the outskirts of London, England, in the summer of 1950. At first quick glance it almost looks like she's reading by a Christmas tree, but the fireside chairs have been taken outside into the garden and you can see the roses climbing the wall behind her.

My Mother and Her Best Friend, 1945

Brought forward for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: A FAVORITE VINTAGE PORTRAIT, FORMAL OR INFORMAL On the right: My mother, Hazel Gregory (later Lundbech), and on the left: Her best friend Jill Doe, (later McNair) home on leave from the WRENS. Taken at Jill's house in Thornton Heath, outside of London. They both later emigrated to the States - my mother to Connecticut, and Jill to New Orleans. I treasure this photo and have it framed. I love the bond this shows, their youth, and their sweetness. They were 21. Jill passed away several years ago. My mom is a healthy 97 and lives with us in Vermont.
