Bud loves the old photos and is very protective and territorial about them. This year we were a little surprised that we were able to convince him to let us borrow one of the old photos with the promise that I would scan the photo and it would be returned the next day.
Opal and her seven brothers in 1971. The occasion was the funeral of their mother.
Back row: Kenneth Jerome, Orlin, Darrel, Myron and Roderick.
According to Bud, Opal would have been 47 for this photo. She would have been the mother of children aged 28, 24 and 17. None of her grandchildren had yet been born.
She was in attendance yesterday at a Christmas Day celebration also attended by her three children, four of her grandchildren and four of her great grandchildren. And her husband Bud.

That's a nice "old" photo. And a fine line-up of what I assume are Norwegian Americans. Time flies.
Say hello to Opal and Bud for me when you next see them.
I believe that is a fine line-up of 50-50s, half Norwegian, half Swedish, all American, all Anderson. Unlike the Anderson mix in our background, I believe this particular set of Andersons are Norwegian on the paternal side.
I remember Opal looking much like she does in that photo when you and Mrs. Smith got married.
