Me, about age three, in front of one of the houses that Daddy built on Estes Avenue.
My mother, Jenna Louise Hawkins, age ten, in Canutillo, Texas, near El Paso.
My father's first photo, taken in 1913, when he was nearly one. With him are his brother, Mark; father, Mark Anthony Welch; and mother, Mary Lula Lane Welch.
My mother and her mother, Jessie Laura Sherrard, dressed up to visit El Paso.
My mother with her future husband, Harold Welch, and her father, Hal Hawkins.
The photo of my mother that my father carried across Europe during World War II.
My father's photos from the Nazi death camp at Nordhausen, which his unit helped liberate in 1945. American GIs found five thousand bodies; survivors often lay beside the dead. For years we kept these photos in a cigar box. My father never wanted to speak about Nordhausen.
