Adding a picture ...

In 1948 our family had a reunion and Uncle Fred, Bob's father ... see the previous blog ... was a photographer and took this timed photo. I found this picture about 10 years ago when I was sorting through ALL the pictures I'd inherited from both sides of our family ... Weinberg and Welch ... a task that lasted a few of years. I made a heritage album for us and each of my children.

Then I showed the album to Pat and Bernd. At that time I mentioned that it was too bad that the sun streak was there. Pat was an expert at fixing photos and said she'd love to try to fix it so we scanned the photo.



... and then she worked for hours with these results:



Looks a lot better. Pat couldn't "fix" Uncle Fred so she cropped his face from another picture and pasted it in this picture.

So, who are these people? Top row is Tom Staple (my cousin), John Weinberg (Dad), Fred Myer, Max Weinberg, Hans Staple, BOB MYER.
Middle row is: Claire Weinberg (me), Rena Staple (Tom's twin), Frieda Weinberg (Mom), Gretel Staple, Edith Myer, Margot Myer.
Seated on the ground is: Bertha Meyer and Bernd Weinberg (my brother).

Hans Staple is my Dad's half brother. Fred Myer (changed the spelling of his last name by dropping the first "e") and Bertha Meyer are first cousins of Dad and Uncle Hans. Max Weinberg is the father of both John and Hans and my grandfather who lived with us when we came to the USA.

The Weinberg's moved from Chicago in 1950 and that was the last time I saw Bob ... until yesterday. So what did I do today? Hunted for Pat's pictures and worked to get the pictures on my laptop. I have them on my computer at home.

And we went to 2 quilt shops today, so it's been a wonderful day. The boys are watching AZ in the beginning of March madness. Now I'm going to see how warm the pool is as the temperature will be in the 90's for a couple of days. If it's 90's in March, what will the summer bring? Whew!!
