This is a picture of Grandpa Rex and his brother Gordon. Lovelock, Nevada, 1919. Rex would have been 3½, Gordon just turned two, and sister Miriam would be born a few months later. Easter would have been April 20 in 1919. Who knows for sure if this was taken on Easter, but the baskets and eggs are a pretty good indication. As in many of the photos of young Rex and Gordon, they were dressed almost like twins in cute outfits.
Fast forward 59 years ...
Grandpa Rex had switched Easter companions. Here the year is 1978. Ironically, this photo was discovered in an album belonging to Grandma Lucille in the years after all the grandparents were gone. Mom/Margie's folks and Dad/Lamar's mom and Grandpa Vic were good friends and got together socially quite often, as this photo would indicate. Fun photo finds in unexpected places ... almost like hunting for Easter eggs!
