I think Dad’s fave photography subject was Mom. I can’t tell for sure if she’s wearing a wedding ring or not in these pix, but I feel confident saying Dad took these in either ’47 or ’48—before they were married. I’m just guessing at where they were at the time, but it looks like these might have been taken somewhere near Baker, Nevada/Lehman Caves—once again, probably on a day trip to work in one of Dad’s bee yards there. I have a suspicion that no matter the place or date these photographs were taken Mom and Dad had a grand time together. I have titled this triptych o’ snapshots “Mom and the 3 G’s:” Mom and a Gate; Mom and a Gun; and Mom and Fake Gender Confusion.
