Christmas outfits, Christmas with Mom's family in Lansing, 1953

    That's my great-grandma Lott and my Grandpa Botroff in the background. Jan, Joie, and Carol appear to have gotten matching outfits for Christmas. Cool! (Glad I was a boy!) Photo by Walter Reed

      My grandma and my mom always dressed me and my sister as twins. We are 15 mos. apart and grandma made all our clothes.

      Jan and mom had very similar outfits (but pink trimming) six months earlier at another family get-together.

      The families gathered at Houghton Lake, July 1953
