I still don't recognize the person behind Grandma. Uncle Don says it might be Aunt Madeline, but I have a dim memory that it was an older relative, and that the hand on Grandma's shoulder belonged to the relative's mate. The ghostly figure in the far left background is, I believe, Elaine. You might wonder how I could discern this from such a fuzzy image. The answer is that somehow the image feels like Elaine -- or perhaps, on some level, I simply remember that she was standing there. I also have a photograph of Granddad taken less than a minute later. He was sitting by himself on a concrete wall outside the pavilion, with his thin, khaki-clad legs stretched out in before him (did he always wear khakis, or am I imagining this?) and his hands in his pockets, daydreaming. I can still see him in that moment, plain as day, but I have not actually laid eyes on the picture for many years. It is lost somewhere in my files. -- Terry |
