Editor's Note: We thought it was about time to roll out some more family photos. This one is wonderful because you can see Alice's sisters Ruth and Pearl and apparently Ruth's in-laws. You can also see the built-up shoe on Allen's lame leg. Our grandma is Mabel. Allen and Alice's oldest daughter Dorothy is missing from the picture as is their son Morris.

The best thing about this photo is the baseball bat! Until I uncovered the original we only had a zeroxed copy which lost most of the detail. Morris did not live with the rest of the Cass Family at Lone Pine. He lived with Nora and Frank at Valley Gate. The reason being that Morris was developmentally challenged. His birth was hard and he was one of two twins. The other, Marvin died straight off. Or not. Depending on who you want to believe. But I think we shall let that be tomorrow's post.
