Susan

It's certainly worth a shot to have you look at this photograph. As I
recall, she was pictured with two men.......can't remember their names,
right at the moment. But, it seems that one of them may have been an Eary.
These people were friends of my mother's brother.......who was a Smith.

I'll see if I can scan it and send it to you. Now, to just find the darned
thing..........
