An Easter Long Past

My sisters, Pat (left) and Ellene.

A Special Birthday Card

Now this is a birthday gift. My sister Ellene sent me this wonderful homemade card with a terrific memory from our youth. A picture I did not remember. Ellene and I on right, my sister Pat in the foreground, at the foot of Burney Falls in California, our family's traditional vacation spot. Below is a poetic sentiment she wrote inside the card:

My Mother & Dad Before Marriage

My Mother, Rose Adelaide Corey


My Dad, Leroy Kenneth Earl Horn

Recently Received Historic Family Photos

My paternal grandmother's side. Great photos.

William & Susan Wharton Family
ID: (1) Dora, (2) Edward, (3) Nellie, (4) Susan, (5) William Wharton.


Nellie Wharton

Leroy K. Horn c.1913

We have very few photos of my dad as a child. My sister Ellene brought this one of him at about 3 years old. Looks like it was fall. We believe this was in Arizona.

My Dad c.1918

Leroy Kenneth Earl Horn. One of the few pictures I have of my dad as a child.

My Sisters, June 1946

Pat and Ellene before I came along. This was probably on vacation at Lake DeSabla.

Remembering My Dad on Father's Day

I had one of the best. He's been gone for nearly 2 decades and I still miss him.

John Henry Franklin Horn, My Great Grandfather

Just discovered this wonderful shot of "Great Gramps."

My Mother Climbs Mount Rainier

In the 1920s. Recently rediscovered these three photos documenting this. She was very active in her youth.

On the Way to Arkansas 1930

Is this a great shot or what? Peggy's dad, Alfred Paul, is at far right. His mother and stepfather Ives are at left. The rest of the children are his Paul siblings. And note the goat in the vehicle. This is "at Devines'" according to the back of the picture, during the move from Oregon to Arkansas in 1930.

Merry Christmas All

A photo from our first Christmas together. Not yet married.

Fisherman in the Making

Just scanned this old photo of me at 9 years of age fishing Nelson Creek, a tributary of the Pit River, in Northern California. This was one of the places where my dad taught me to fish. I grew more fervent for fishing in subsequent years.
