Favorite Photo - with Grandma and Grandpa Martin

One of my favorite photos has always been this one. It was taken in early 1952. The photo is of my grandparents, George Michael "Mike" Martin and Florence Halliday Martin, holding their first grandchild - me!!

My grandparents were a handsome couple. They were in their early 50's in this photo. It was likely taken in front of their home in West Frankfort, Illinois, and based on the way we are dressed, it was likely in the spring of that year. I think they both look proud of their granddaughter, and I hope I've made them proud over the years by telling their stories!
