This is doctored from a severely folded original a bit over one inch tall,
because Larue showed interest in this picture of Bea Owens in her man-melting
youth.
This photo was taken substantially later than her other photo in this album (see Bea with her mother in 4_15_2.jpg). At her age in the photo here she had beau coming and going. She finally married Hugh (Mac) McKee and had three children, Ted, Dennis and Peggy (named after Bea's mother Margaret). Bea moved with her family and parents to Salem Oregon in 1948. She kept in touch with Larue from that year via Christmas letters. No letter has come for several years (written by Larue in 1997). |
