Marie & Joe O'Donnell Photos

These precious photos were in pretty bad condition but I did what I could to revive them on Picasa. 

This photo is marked September 1944 and Sharon is in the photo.  Can you pick her out?

L to R Marie, Sharon (in utero), Margaret & TJ O'Donnell, Charlie Jr, Anne O'D, Joe O'D & Rita and Mary Beth (in utero)

Charlie Jr wearing his Uncle Joe's hat. All of these photos were taken in September 1944 sometime before Joe went overseas to fight in the horrendous battle that became known as the Battle of the Bulge.   Sharon was born on January 1st, 1945 while her father was fighting for his country in Europe.

The picture below was in the best condition and actually has the exact date on the back ( God bless my mother for doing this! ) September 3, 1944

This one is from a few years later, July 1950

Last but not least for this evening - July 6th 1947 at Rockaway Beach
