On board the ship Dad and brother Fred served on

Dad has always loved to fish

While stationed in San Diego dad met the love of his life

What a good looking family, especially the bald headed baby (me)

Love that large mouth bass

Winter can't stop the fishing

I think this is at the Four Corners Power Plant where dad was a welder

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE WILSON'S

This was a wonderful way to end the year by gathering together as a family.

Everyone should have a naked baby picture of themselves posted for everyone to have a laugh or "isn't she so cuuuuute". I found this in my Fortin family collection along with other photos so I'm assuming it's my mother.

Mom looks around 3 in this picture. Don't know who the boy is or the name of the dog.

I need to clean this photo up.

Just wanted to wish my Mom a Happy Birthday. Thank you for all the wonderful memories that I have of growing up, traveling cross-country to visit family, camping, helping me with my paper route when I was to lazy to get up, letting us have pets in the house, not telling Mike I killed his fish, encouraging me to get an education, strengthening my testimony with your charity and service, supporting me when I played in the band and orchestra, always making sure I had a hot meal, shaving my head every summer so I wouldn't be hot, teaching me to play games and enjoy life, you coming to visit and being a part of my children's lives, us traveling to see you, giving me a love for genealogy, always being there when I needed a shoulder to cry on. I'm sorry I broke your ankle when we were building the porch. I hope you have a wonderful birthday and I want you to know I love you.
