Vicki with her older brother, Dean. He really did look out for her. He was the big brother every girl wanted. In his letters from when he was serving in the Korean Conflict he reminded her to be careful of the boys otherwise he would have to come back and teach them a thing or two.
This is probably my favorite picture of my mother. It epitomizes her life, full of zeal & excitement to the end. In my opinion, no other photo portrays it to this extent.
