You see, it was like this............

We had no choice!

In going through our years-long snapshot collection, we ran across this one in sifting and preparing to send our chosen candidates of photos for photo archival technician, Dee's NYC brother Jeffrey's compilation of a huge all-family album for Gramaw and Poppy. It is to be presented in Sept. at their 60th wedding anniversary.

It seemed Erin and Lee got thoroughly soaked in a surprise rainstorm at a parade where they had walked in Waukesha, some blocks from home. Returning afterwards, they were distressed. Lee was telling us what had happened, in anticipation of potential displeasure. They opted to stay in the rain to watch the event. "We had no choice!" (Some years later, they were to become players in the South High School marching band, in any and all weather.)

You either have a camera ready at a moment like this, or you don't...........
