Albert and Mabel Pazcoch

I had once said on another site, how I loved this particular period. Recieved alot of angry comments, how can you not like this seemingly simpler time?

People were angry? Tell them to get a life. You like whatever you want to.

They felt I was a non supporter of women's progressive movements...ugh

I'm 62 years old. No-one pushes me around or tells me what I can and cannot do. Mothers who have babies should stay at home and be mothers, not have strangers look after their kids. Women should have their husbands dinner ready and piping hot when he walks in the door after work. House-work is women's work. Hard toil is a mans job. If a man wants to assist a woman fine. If he wants to sit while she looks after him that's fine too. My husband works 12 hour days. Why on earth would I who are home all day expect him to do mine as well. We do not fight , ever, whatever I want I get, he treats me like gold and I treat him the same. I can go and do what ever I wish but honestly I'd rather spend my life doing what makes us both happy. Of course he is well paid. I don't need to work and if I did he would hate it. Everyday I get told darling I'm home. How many get that response that's really meant from the heart. Say what you wish and apologise to no-one. Each to their own.

Crass I like

Oh my God! Ms Vallance, I am almost 73 and I think you are weird. You must have been raissed by the Amish or something like them. Most mothers would like to stay home in their kids younger years, but with the economics today impossible for most. Come back into modern days. Oh I hadn't thought, you may also be a Troll.

Its Mrs vallance. At 73 I think you are rude. I've already stated that economics paves the way for women to work and that I did not suffer from that condition. I only found out the other day that someone on a site had been called a troll. I had it explained to me. No, I'm not a troll, yes I have very old fashioned ideals and as far as living with or being brought up by them, no, both my parents just taught me to respect peoples differences not attack. Obviously your parents failed teaching you simple manners and I have aslresady stated I will say and do as I please. I do not apologise for my views. So maybe it is you who are the troll. Why on earth do you care how I live?

Julie Vallance i am 42 and agree with you 100 %

A girl who at last has a brain.

Armenian?

Yes Gale R. Gough

No, they do not. They had 2 daughters. One died at age 1 month. They were separated in 1915 and divorced in 1917. He never remarried. She remarried and spent the rest of her life in the East Bay. Her daughter (my mother) spent most of her life in the East Bay also.

Thanks for that information.

Thank goodness for the "no boundaries" rule or we would not be here enjoying these photos! ha ha.

2 years after the earthquake

This is the reason I'm compelled to collect them, and display them. They are not forgotten.

It looks like them but a little older? And a different angle?

Its a bit hard to tell cause I have to roll up and down to compare. Maybe your right but they sure are a picture of happiness.

I would love it if it was the same couple. What a coincidence if it is. They seem just a little older.

The woman is I feel having another look. So your probably right.

I treasure all my collection, but posted several here.

Did you notice it looks as though her right arm is missing?

I did not notice, wait, I have other photos of a woman with a missing right arm.

Back row

They are wearing mutton sleeve dresses. I think her arm is behind her. There's a hint of fleshy if you hold the photo back a little.

The back right? No, I have this photo and its completely gone below the elbow.
