My Dad (Thomas Walter Johnson, Sr.) is the baby in my Grandfather's (Robert) lap on the left! My Grandmother (Alvah) and Uncle Allen are next to them! Aunt Mary and Aunt Barbara...Uncles Harvey and Buster! This was before the birth of Aunt Alva and Aunt Pearl...to complete the 8 children! Such a rich heritage! Amen+
