Granny Pam Pages 6-13 contain photographs of living people, so I’ve kept them private. Page 14 again shows photos of my Dad, James Austin Yearnd.

We left Lincolnton Georgia Saturday evening and drove up to Hendersonville, NC, where we spent the rather short night. I didn’t think much on that drive, but I did gather my thoughts and jot down a few of them as Papa drove us back to Michigan Sunday. I actually did quite a bit of driving … Read more
The fourth page of Sweetie’s scrapbook contains a collection of photographs of William H. Yearnd, Jr., 1917-1992. They seem to span his life up to the date Sweetie died. This one is of an infant: One shows a little boy on the beach, and one the same boy with his bike: The next two are … Read more
