10.25.19 - Great Great Grandmother Gladys

This afternoon, being inspired by my visit to Henderson, I decided to search for a photo of Andy and I from high school. It's a real photograph, on paper, taken with a camera. In 1979 we did not have digital cameras or mobile phones.

I only looked through one tote in the garage before I became totally distracted. I did not find the picture I was looking for. Instead I found pictures (on paper) and copies of documents that my grandmother had mailed to me in 1993, shortly after Grandma Elaine and I moved to Camas, WA.

Grandma Gladys was a pillar in my life. As a child, when there was unrest and lack of direction, she was there to provide support.

Grandma Gladys was born in 1912 as Gladys Mabel Briggs. She married Richard Walter Hansen, born 1907, in 1933. My grandfather Rick passed on November 11, 1967. I was almost 6 years old. Grandma Gladys passed in 2010 at 98 years old.

Your uncle Rick was named after your great great grandfather. Your aunt Gladys was named after your great great grandmother.

My plan is to scan the pictures and documents to share with you on a later post. I'm also sure that the rest of the family would be interested in having these. The documents include her marriage certificate, Rick's birth and death certificates, and Rick's 8th grade diploma.

The pictures include Georgia, Cal, Grandma Gladys, Grandpa Rick, myself as a child, Aunt Gladys, and Aunt Susie.
