  8. The original den mother, back when only men were supposed to camp with the boy scouts. A groundbreaking woman. I think she got her hat from her Vietnamese lover.

  9. Are those stockings way down around her ankles? And is that a humongous scar on the front of her right leg? What happened there? Shark attack? The planter on the windowsill and the weeds along the edge of the house say grandma has better things to do!

  10. i like to think that millie is bob's eccentric and full of spunk aunt and that goes around in scandolous outfits. bob is there visiting for the summer and someone snapped this shot. you can tell by the looks on their faces they have probably been up to some type of innocent mischief.

    )) i do so greatly enjoy your found photos!! ((
