Pictures of J. Anne Hendrickson Isaacson - Posted by Tom

Alice Cantrell, a member of our ward, grew up with Mom. Alice's husband, Jerry, was in every class with Mom through grade school, and in most classes with her throughout Jr. High and High School. He recalls her as the "life of the party." We know that, of course, and it surely shows in many of the following pictures that Alice and others of her classmates gave me recently. I love every one of the pictures, because it really shows Mom for who she is!! In all cases below, I take the position from our perspective as to left or right (my right is left for those in the picture). Click on the picture for a larger image, and to download for yourself!! The quality, unfortunately, are as good as I received.







This is a picture of Mom in her 1st Grade class.
She is sitting at the teachers left, second row.

Mother is in 3rd Grade, here. She is second from the right, front row. Isn't she adorable?

The cast of "Raggedy Anne & Andy." Mom is Raggedy Anne next to
Raggedy Andy seated in front of the cast.
She was in 4th Grade.

Mom, second row, far right, is beginning to look like Mom. 7th Grade, and her "style" is becoming more evident.

8th Grade, and is there any question which is Mom? Front row, far left, and look at that style. Everyone else is staid and formal. Mom is free and flowing with style and classy grace. Her pose speaks confidence (real or feigned??).

Again, look at her classiness. This is surely high school, but I don't know when.
Mom, 4th from the right, is almost defiant in her confidence. The girl, second from Mom's right, tries in vain to be as natural.

Okay, okay.

Hello, Family,

Tom, here, and I will try to do my best to get some information posted ASAP. The photo's I have of my mother will be coming soon, as will other pertinent posts.

For now, how about a teaser: This photo is of my great-grandfather, Isak Aron Isaksson. Pictured also is his second wife, Emma (said to be a real rip!); between them is Isak's son, Bror Enok; in the back is, on the right, Reuben, and on the left, my Grandfather, Klas Tycko (we now spell it Claus Tyko. . .why??). I was given this photo while visiting our Swedish cousins in Sweden. Birger, Bror Enok's youngest son, shared this and others with me.

So, with that as a tease - more to come later.

Yay!

Hi Everyone,

So I'm starting this blog to provide a place for all of us to talk about family history, to connect with living relatives that we might not otherwise get to know (Hi everyone in Sweden!!) and to share family stories that are important for all of us to know. For example, my dad recently received some photos of his mom in gradeschool... those will be posted here (because I'm forcing him to!) :)

Also new additions to the family, etc can be announced here. For example, my parents had no idea Aria was expecting until a few days AFTER Leif was born. So, while it's the Isaacson way to somehow forget to make those kind of important calls, now you can post it here and we'll have no excuse for not knowing what's going on with everyone! You can also post links to your own family blog so we can keep in touch that way, too. It's kind of like a family reunion, online. :)

It's easy to become a contributor, if you want to be added so you can post on here anytime you want, email me (carlycarlson@gmail.com) and we'll get you set up. If you would rather not post on your own, but have something you want to contribute, just email it to me and I'll take care of it, too.

Love,
Carly
