Gretchen was particularly photogenic in b&w, being a Harlequin.
This photo of Lisa with then-presiding Bishop Joe Sprague burning the mortgage on the parsonage for Community UMC in LaMoille, IL looks like a newspaper photo. Actually, I took it on a disposable camera. Such is what happens when pictures are rendered b&w.
Lisa and her mother, the day Lisa graduated from Wesley Theological Seminary.
In the category of real b&w photos, at my the recent party celebrating my father's 90th birthday, my cousin put together a small memory book. In it was something I, nearing 46 years old, had never seen - a wedding photo of my parents. March 31, 1954.
Hint: For the last day, expect the unexpected.
Lisa makes hay while the sun shines. Randall captures Cleveland's cheery side.

These are all such charming photos. From beginning to end. And what a nice surprise to have that photo of your parents on their wedding day.
I was shocked. My father's sister-in-law passed away about ten months ago, and so my cousins have been going through the house. Apparently, my aunt and uncle, like everyone else of that generation, saved everything. Even my parents don't have a copy of this picture. There it was, though, my cousin Peggy told me, in a photo album buried in a box somewhere.
I'm not sure now about the one of Lisa and her Mom. Too dark to really be a good b&w picture.
I think the photo of The Rev. Mrs. and her mother is fine. I like darkish photos with lots of shadow.
I'm so glad the your cousins uncovered that photo. So cool.
