A few odds and ends relatives and ancestors. Quite a few of my grandfathers on both sides were run over by trains.

Fred Oliver looks like he's in a Superman pose...
Your Mom is beautiful! You have her eyes.
Fred thought he was superman, believe me.....
Okay, I'll bite: what kind of career did those grandfathers have, that they were run over by trains?
my thoughts exactly kcinnova. what's the deal with that? do you suffer from trainphobia?
gary, is the whole getting run over by a train made up? i can see possibly one, BUT QUITE A FEW!!!
I am not kidding about the trains. I love trains, actually. None of them worked on trains. I think it was a reaction to bad times, if you can read between the lines on that.
(OK, I'll lay out a theory---a death that looks like an accident, not suicide, therefore the family could collect something? Just a theory.)
It's always fascinating to look back on super old photos and find pieces of ourselves along the way.
I think that it may have been not uncommon.
If I remember the story correctly, my great-grandmother bertha Davis lost her father to a train and 20 some years later lost her husband to a train and then 20 some years later lost her son to a train. Something like that, plus an uncle.
Oh my...Fred Oliver was hot!
Hey Gary....the yellow piggy was delivered on Thursday,
Baby Sierra is ill with her first cold, poor little thing.
As soon as she's well again, my daughter Jenni will take a photo of Sierra and the yellow piggy.

PS....STAY OFF THE TRACKS!!!!!!!
Glad the pig got there, sorry it took so long, nearly 3 weeks! I shall be very careful indeed.
Sounds to me that your family has a one-track mind. ;)
*Hilary - Now THAT'S funny! lol!
so cool... i wish i had more old family pictures.
It's a good thing you all don't live by the train tracks then! You come from a REALLY good-looking family!
Definitely a handsome bunch of ancestors you have, me boyo.
