A walk down memory lane…

In 2024 when we sold the home that we had built and lived in for 32 years in Warren, Vermont everything was cleaned out. Aimé (Dana’s son) apparently wound up with an album we had made with our Kodacolor honeymoon photos and photo envelopes that Bebe had been saving since we began creating a family in South Acton, Massachusetts in 1956. He took photos of those images and sent them to me on March 24, 2025 so that captions could be added and people identified.

These photos were added in March of 2025.
