Here are my glamorous grandparents, right in the middle of the "swing" era and all dressed up for a Hollywood party. My grandmother was a knock-out, wasn't she? Wish we could see her entire dress. She was known for her beautiful taste in fashion. The second photo shows my grandparents in 1947, shortly after my father was born.

These are my maternal grandparents, holding my mother (on the right) and her sister in the late 1940s. They were missionaries on the frontier in Brazil for 40 years, building the first school and first church. Amazing!
