I had forgotten about these pictures. The BW picture is my dad’s family – mother, Henry Retta (yes, that’s how she spelled it), father Alford Landreth, and their ten children. My dad is in front wearing the gray shirt next to Aunt Kate who was picking her nose.
The second photo was taken 45 years later and was probably the last time the siblings were all together. My dad is in the back in the center. Aunt Kate is on the right. She outgrew the nose-picking.
The music motif honors the role that music played in the family. Any gathering was a reason to make music.
