  1. Great collection of photos. I too have no idea who the woman with S, D and Grandpa Loo is. I certainly do recognize his whole body language of care with the carving. That's great.

  2. Love the pictures! I especially love the old one (1958)!! And who is Aunt Tardy? Very glam, don't you think?!! Luke might know the rest...His wife, Judy is now on FB. Or...send me a copy at calikids1@verizon.net and I'll ask him over Christmas...! Would LOVE to see more! Miss all the Christmas parties at Halcyon Farm! Take Care! Mary
