Over on the left are Jean and Bob and their teenage son, Alan. Next to Bob, the woman with the baby is my daughter Dawn. She and her husband separated recently; I had hoped that they would work out their differences, but it didn’t happen that way. Now Dawn is trying to bring up two children by herself. It is not easy, so I help her out whenever I can.

12. Article Behind me in the picture are my daughter Patty, her husband Steve, and their two kids. Such a happy family; they enjoy doing things toghther, and they always talk over their problems without arging. And on the right you see my youngest son, Michael. He alwyas wears such strange clothes....I really can’t figure him out . But he’s young; he’s still trying out different ideas and lifestyles. He’ll be all right. My husband and I worked hard to bring our kids up well. They’re very different from one another, but they’re fine people,and I love them all.
