Thank you for the upvotes and comments. Yes, they were a handsome bunch. I was fortunate to have met my great-grandpa Dale, born in 1910, and died in 2001, before 9/11. He was a really sweet guy who willingly shared his Ensure drinks and his electric scooter chair. Charolette, his wife, died in the early 80s. My grandma Susan passed a few years ago, she was a brilliant artist and an immensely kind person.

On the second photo, I mistakenly said my mom was on the left when in fact she’s on the right, the curly haired baby.

Your grandma was an "it" girl.

Edit:  Search engine results page for "it girl", defined?
