Siblings: oldest (but never old!) Suzanne, middle child Julia, and Youngest (that’s me!) . I’ll go for the other three later–this was mainly an attempt to cover up my desire to show my awesome Easter outfit! Check out the shoes.

Early 1940’s Photo Near Auburn, Alabama
This must be either Mama (Inez Watts) or Aunt Sadie Lou. Taken in Chewacla State Park near the falls just outside Auburn, Alabama. This photo appears to be taken at the same time as one of my personal favorites titled “Goddess of the Woods.” A great photo with a great story for another time.
Watts Family Cousins?
Okay, who can help identify these people? I’m sure that they are cousins from somewhere. Again, an Uncle Edward Waddell photo. Wow, quick answers abound! A sister emailed me within about 30 minutes of posting.
Billy Watts, Ed Watts (both sons of Bill Watts, my father’s brother), Jane, Julia, (back) Suzanne, Carol and Cynthia on the horse.
Old Time Fun at the Watts House
Photo on the left: me (Joe Watts). Notice the stylish Dukes of Hazzard t-shirt. All the other photos appear to be Christmas at the Watts house. Top: Madeline in the mix. Bottom left: Papa (Clark Watts) trying on a new down jacket–I think he kept that one forever. Center: Suzanne with, I’m guessing, Laura. Bottom right: Stacy. These photos all come from Uncle Edward Waddell’s many, many slides!
Uncle Edward & Aunt Gladys in the Early Days
Above left: Uncle Edward Waddell, the dapper dresser in an unknown location. This doesn’t look like Alaska, but not really sure where it could be.
Above right: Aunt Gladys Waddell (my father Clark Watts’ sister) on top of a mountain in Alaska. The back of the photo has writing: “On top of Bangmeter, the highest mountain here.” The writing is faded, so not sure about the mountain’s name–I couldn’t find it in google.
Imagine how adventurous that must have been.
Good Old Family Photos from Octagon, Alabama
