Memories

This is my Mama @ 1943-44, she was working in a shipyard in Mobile Alabama. She was 20 or 21 years old and had given birth to two children, one of which was I. I have memories of Mobile that are quite vivid after these 60 some odd years. The smell of the paper mill, the Bankhead tunnel, the trauma of nursery school, the graceful whisps of Spanish moss trailing down from the giant Live Oak trees. The smell of salt air and the excitement of riding the busses getting from one place to the next. Never underestimate the awareness of a two year old!
