I bet not before or since that time would a photographer have caught them cooking on the pavement (or sidewalk, as you would call it). I particularly like they all have their hands on each others shoulders or around their necks. It displays the kind of togetherness that a tight-knit family group would naturally feel in such a circumstance ... "Together we can manage through this." Actually the expressions on the faces of the older generation are rather stoic, while the sons and daughters seem to be having a great lark! Again many thanks for the opportunity to share this image.<br /><br />Regards, BrettBrett Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706734864792449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-5930203454489680442009-07-31T07:21:24.414-07:002009-07-31T07:21:24.414-07:00I agree.

I think the container in front of Edna is filled with coal for the stove and grill.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00064329229537398807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-63309618875136557932009-07-31T00:13:17.681-07:002009-07-31T00:13:17.681-07:00That is a very cool picture connecting your wife&#...That is a very cool picture connecting your wife's family with a major event!<br /><br />It looks like Leland McKnew is standing behind a large cooking pot propped up on some bricks to allow a fire to be built beneath it. You can see the handles on the upper left and right of the pot. Maybe the canister on the left is holding coal for the fires?Johnielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085248044838042068noreply@blogger.com
