1925

Shirley and Claire, I’m guessing my mother is around 7-8 and Claire 3-4 y.o. I never was allowed to meet Claire, which is rather bizarre. She was always described as living a life with certain rules, and apparently the Reusche family (or at least some of us), didn’t fit in and were excluded.

1922

My mother was born in 1918 in San Francisco, California. In this picture she is about 4 or 5 years old. She looks determined and not very happy here, trying to do what she is told.
