    Wonderful, Ken.

    I'm glad you have this photo digitally preserved. Did you scan it very high res?

    I really love everything about it. Just precious.

    Ya, I've got albums filled with vintage shots like this. Another place, another time.

    I love those old photo's. Your mom is definite the prettiest. The aunties with the same dresses are funny.

    Love this. Looks like it was taken during the war years when the women kept the neighborhoods intact with their chicken soup and moral fortitude.

    This Detroit doesn't exist anymore - brings back good memories. Your mum was the beauty of the family.
