I'm not sure when this picture was taken, but it looks like both Joanie and Jim were highschool age. In this photo, three of the four people were ultimately afflicted with Alzheimers disease.

Margaret and Margaret Joan Brazell
This is my great grandmother and my grandma when she was about 3 years old. I had a fortune teller say to me once that I had a guardian angel watching over me and her name was Margaret...I wonder how she knew?
