This photo may be fuzzy, but it is interesting....from the left, we believe we have Mel holding Baby Jeff, Linda with the hunched shoulders and orange pants, Grandma hiding behind Linda, Nancy next to Linda, Mooch way in the back, then Arlene, with Scott in front of her and we believe Scott and Linda's dad, Les, behind Scott, then Jake in the red cap, next to his big brother Dean, with Shirley behind, next to Jack who is holding little Baby Jackie...we have no idea where this photo was taken.
note: We have been informed that this photo was taken in June of 1962 at Grandma's house on Grover Street in Lynden. Mel was home on leave and was to leave a few days later for Turkey, just prior to his first Father's Day as a new dad due to the recent birthing of Jeff. We have also learned that the fuzzy quality of this photo is due to the photographer buying low quality color film...which should be a cautionary tale to us all; that cheapness can haunt you for decades...
