Sylvia and Father Age 1-2

My Father,Don Smith, started a tradition when I was one year old. We had our picture taken together each year on my birthday. He got the idea from a feature in a LIFE magazine. It is great to have these comparisons from year to year. I grew up in Grant,NE and Cozad,NE. A few pictures were taken in Greeley,CO as my parents went to summer school there.
