Dysfunctional Is Putting It Mildly...


This was the last family photo of us on a trip to Washington, DC
Dad's plane crashed about 3-4 months afterward on October 30, 1959.

The 50th Anniversary is approaching and Mike, Sharon & I are planning on attending the Memorial the weekend of Halloween, in Crozet, VA. A local journalist has contacted us to do an article. It's mostly about the soul survivor, Phil Bradley, but he has asked a few questions about us. He has us looking around for old photos and Mike is restoring them with PhotoShop.

Mike and I are the only ones left and as you can see, he just ain't right!!
Bro, you are about the only person that can make me laugh so hard my belly hurts
and I love you with all my heart!

12 Yeehahs!:

After I finish laughing at your brother's handiwork...I cannot believe that was 50 years ago...Wow. Will be interested to hear about that trip.

Sally said...

OMG - your brother Mike and my brother Mike - there's just something "off" about Mike's.

I know that will be bittersweet, though.

Take care & lots of hugs.

Those pictures had me rubbing my eyes a few times and looking again and again. I think I need some sleep. What a hoot your brother is. He's good at the photo shopping stuff!
I hope your trip is a good one after all...
