Portraits of my Mom

Mom and Dad, 1944

Some years ago my mother started writing her down her "memories". My dad finally introduced her to using a computer, at the age of 80!!, and with  ad's help she could even add  pictures. Taking her age into consideration, you'll find some repetition in her tales and/or years missing.

I hope you enjoy reading as much as I  did!

Update, November 2011

The pages need a complete re-formatting and while doing that I decided to add pictures from my archives to the entries. The entries themselves are the original as written by my mom, with only minor corrections (typos mostly).
