My grandmother, Madeline Froess Barron Yorke, had her birthday on June 15th, and mine was on June 16th, and so we often celebrated together. These pictures are from my 4th birthday in 1946. The party was in the yard at 509, and were taken by my dad's cousin Jim Barron.
Party goers in the first picture are Judy Hart, Betty, me (Richie), Grandma, Tommy, Diane, Julia, Eileen (my cousin Diane's mother), Pat, Nancy and Mary Ann. Anna and my mother (Lucille) show up in the second picture.
The tradition continues - My grand-daughter Meghan was also born on June 16th. Each year as the day approaches, we discuss the kind of birthday cake we want. Meghan always says she wants chocolate, and to be contrary I say I want cherry. In this picture she was 8 and I was 64.
