The first is probably in our Center yard, but I don't know. It is, of course, Larry Dale's family with Mom and me. L-R, David, Betty, my sister Sue Ellyn in Betty's arms, Larry holding Linda Jean, Gary in a fedora, Velma.
The next three seem to be taken at the same time on the west side of our house, judging from clothing clues. First is L.J. and Fern's family. L-R: a very tan Larry Dale, Audree, Velma, Fern, Laurence.
Next are the grandchildren to that time, minus Dennis Jon. Front are Linda Jean Koftan and Lindsay Craig Ellingson; second row are Penny Jean Ellingson and David Larry Koftan, and I'm at the rear holding my sister Sue Ellyn on my shoulders.
Then it's all of them, either Mom or I the one to take the photo. We're both missing. Back, L-R: Larry holding Sue, Fern, Betty, Audree, Laurence. Front, L-R: Penny, Linda, Lindsay.
Finally one from Up West at the Peters homestead. The photo is dated JAN 57, but I don't remember when Earl and Audree lived there instead of Grandma and Grandpa Koftan. Lindsay thinks it was the spring of 1955; his turtle hat cued him. If I had to guess, Micheal Laurence Ellingson is missing because he's with Grandma and Grandpa Koftan down in Arizona, but I don't know. Anyway, L-R: Dennis Jon, Lindsay Craig, Audree and Earl Ellingson. Penny Jean Ellingson is standing in front of Velma Luckert at the right. In the front are my sisters in dresses I bought them, red dotted swiss, Sue Ellyn turned, JaVee Ann holding on to Mom's hand.
