This picture was taken after my great grandpa finished building the fireplace in 1962. The house is in Los Angeles. Scanned from a Kodak safety negative. View full image.

My Great Grandmother Ella (Jones) Woodruff (seated) and her daughter, my grandmother, Gladys Iola (Woodruff) Farnsworth. Gladys was born in 1897 and died in childbirth in 1925 so I'm guesstimating that this picture is around 1914 since I think she looks about 17. Not sure where they are when this picture was taken. She was born in NY but died in Toledo, Ohio. View full image.

This photo makes me think of divining rods (or witching rods) that are used to find water. It strikes me that the ladies were looking for something other than water - maybe a frog to kiss, or prince charming. I hope they found what they were looking for. View full image.

The Peggy Lou was a 26-foot steel cabin cruiser that my Dad, Bill (standing with his back to the camera), built in our backyard. That is my brother Michael looking back at the camera, and looking forward to some fishing on Lake Erie no doubt. Toledo, Ohio, c. 1960. View full image.
