The scanning and editing of the family photos continues!
This week we're sharing photos from the 1950s and 1960s of Jonathan's Aunt Linda Yates. A former beauty pageant queen, Linda was quite good at striking a pose.As you'll notice, she was also very fashionable regardless of whether she was standing beside the car in the hot sun or kneeling beside her nephew Greg.
Enjoy!
My mother-in-law Denise lost her father, Clovis Geno, to a massive heart attack on September 11, 1977 when he was only 62 years old. She loved her daddy very much and still talks about him all the time, but sadly, she doesn't have many photos of the two of them together. I'm in the process of scanning and editing the few she does have, so she can enjoy them for years to come.

There is something about the 1960s that gets me every time. It was a tumultuous decade, but it sure had style. Check out the below photos and see if you don't agree...
Fancy updos....
Shift dresses and atomic George Nelson-inspired clocks...
Aluminum Christmas trees, smoking in the house (!) and slim suits...
A time when you couldn't delete the outtakes...
Sweater sets and red lipstick for daytime...
Wood paneling. This was taken around 1960, so the 1950s influences were still very noticeable. Love it though!
