In 1955, my father-in-law, a Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, was granted a sabbatical year, which he spent teaching and doing research at Oxford University in England. The family traveled "across the pond" aboard the Queen Elizabeth (then the largest liner in the world) and arrived in Southampton on August 23, 1955 -- five days before my wife Molly's third birthday. The family is pictured on deck taking in some sun on what was obviously a rather cool August day. [Front to back: Patrick with Molly standing, Doreen with Kathy on her lap, and Dan sitting close to the rail.]

Oh my gosh, John, how much fun to see Molly as a little girl and Doreen as a young mom when just a few posts ago we saw Molly as a young mom and Doreen as a new grandmother; and then Molly as a new grandmother and Doreen as a great-grandmother! And they're all so lovely at every age!
ReplyDeleteThank you for those kind words Nancy! It actually wasn't intentional to have chronological postings, but I guess it worked out that way -- and I agree they are lovely at every age! ;-)
