Bob and Solveig in the Alps

Fall, 1963

I love this photo.

A year after their marriage Mom and Dad took a trip to Europe. This is Switzerland. Mom is four months pregnant with Deanne.

I asked Dad who took this photo. He said there was no one around for miles. He set the timer, like he did on many of their hiking trips.
