Sad Birthday

Today is my dad’s 68th birthday. I believe that this is a picture of Dad and Cheryl around the time they were three. I am looking through all of my Rutledge Family pictures, including these I had taken of Cheryl’s Family Photo Album in 2006. We also lost his brother Richard yesterday.

There are some classic pictures of people from Germanton in this set. But there were very few pictures of Richard, who was nine years older than Dad and Cheryl. He was married by the time of many of these great beach pictures. Memaw is a lot braver than I am in a few of these shots!

However I did get some great shots at Richard and Bettye’s 50th Wedding Anniversary
