Over Christmas I raided one of my Nana's photo albums, encountering wonderful things like this:

This one's from 1914 or '15, and one of the only pictures of my great-grandfather Oscar and Nana Kinch. Why Oscar's doing an anachronistic W.C. Fields impression, no one knows. The woman on the right with the piercing stare is Edith May Palmer. That's the only thing I know about her. But those eyes! I wish I knew more.

More pics behind the cut:




My grand-uncle Herbert is the little boy in the front seat. He's sitting on the lap of Nana's Uncle Frank, who couldn't look any more like a gangster if he was slugging Dick Tracy.



Mom's high school graduation picture. Damn. Just....damn.



Mom, Nana and Uncle Robert, sometime in the '70s. For the record, this is the funkiest I have ever seen my mother look.



My sister and I, ages 1 and 5. I still have that Bugs Bunny, though the ears are gone and Nana encased him in a protective corduroy 'bodysuit' a few years after this picture was taken.



Me, last year of high school/first year of college-ish.

Nice shots of you and the 'oldfamilia'. Love the gangster hat. ;)

How far back do you think some of her pictures go, B?

1914 was the oldest one in this album. There were other albums we didn't get to, though...I wouldn't be surprised if there were some from a generation earlier.
