Mada and Gary Downes, New Mexico
Mada and Gary Downes at school. I believe this picture was taken in New Mexico. My grandmother, born in 1910, was born in Dexter, NM and this was hers and her brother Gary's first school. Brother Gary was born in 1912 so I'm guessing this picture was taken 1917 to 1920.
