Tintype - Black/White - Color Print

An old picture showed your mother's parents holding
their little girl while an older girl and a boy stood in
back of them. The ancient tintype, yellowed and a bit
faded, had been treasured by the baby girl, now a
grown-up married mother.

Your mother and father had three children, also. They
included two boys and one girl; you. After our meeting
and marriage, I saw, not only the tintype, but a Kodak
photo of your parents holding a baby boy and behind
them, an attractive girl and a younger brother. This
one, too, joined your continuing likeness of family.

Your family and mine share a bright color image of
our two girls and son with us in a picture of you
holding our baby girl and I am the proud husband
and father seated by you. I doubt if Hollywood could
have done better of keeping and preserving such
rare relics of three couples having three children each
