Merry Christmas Parks Family – 1940
Merry Christmas, Bill – 1940
Dear Bernice, December 11, 1940
Frank … Dec. 5-1940
From Frank … Dec. 3-1940
Frank … November 14-’40
I am loving Frank’s comment to Bernice “I’m addressing it to you as it seems you do all the writing for the family these days.”! It is also always interesting for me to read my Uncle’s comments to his sister about her future husband, Bill Huntley.
Bill Horseback Riding
In a couple of letters my dad mentions loving to go horseback riding … here is an early photo of him doing just that. Too bad the horse’s nose is cut off … but those were the days when you could not immediately see your photo on either your phone screen or the back of your camera display … you had to wait days, weeks or even months until your roll of 12 or 24 or 36 photos was all exposed and you took it in to the drug store to be developed and then finally got to see what you captured.

Parks Family Photo
I have been asked to provide some family history as in who’s who. I will begin to deal with this as it relates to my mother, who after all is the main focus of the blog. This family photo was the first of four Parks Family photos taken between 1947 and 1965. The photo was taken in the living room of 1352 South 4th Street, Allentown, Pennsylvania which was the family home at the time.
Huntley Family Tree
This is my father’s family … sadly, I have less photos and less details overall about his side of my family tree. You can see that my father falls towards the end of his generation of siblings.
