Vivian's Photo Album: the McKays

 My grandmother's photo album has an entire page dedicated to the McKays.  Mattie Maupin McKay was her sister.  Our family was close to many of the McKay cousins and I can say, they were a fun bunch!

Vivian's Photo Album: Maxine and Bob

 Vivian Long Maupin's photo album is full of family photos, but my Aunt Norma did not pay any attention to the note Grandma left behind.  There are no photos left in the album with her in them.  Fortunately, my cousin does have them, and I have photographed them in the past.

 Aunt Maxine Long Delaney has several pages devoted to her; this is the first one, with her graduation gown and then photos with her and Uncle Bob.  If she looks like she got married as a teenager, it's because she was 18 when she and Bob married at St. Philip Neri Church in 1942.  I'd love to know the story of how they met.

 Although some of these photos show Bob in military uniform, he didn't enlist until 1944

 Wedding photos above and below---I'm sure.  Wondering who is standing on the step in such a "model" pose with Grandma looking up at her?  Photos with the Delaneys and one of Bob's young brother Ken.

Vivian Maupin Long's Photo Album: Lee and Louise

 Several years ago, I inherited my grandmother's photo album always intending to share the photos on this web site, but it was shoved in a bin stored under a chair because "life" happened.  Recently a cousin came over and I showed him the album.  So, before I put it away again here are some photos.  I believe all of the outdoor photos where when the Longs went to Arkansas to meet the Wickers before (after?) Mother (Arky/Louise) and Dad (Lee) were married.
Amendment:  I'm going to say AFTER they were married judging from the trees in Arkansas---looks like October or November and they were married in September (having known each other just 6-8 weeks I believe)

Lee, Vivian and Roy Long

"Lee"---love the look if you enlarge this.
