Easter Sunday 1958?


From Pam Streeter Wadsworth:


Dave came across this photo taken outside of the 453 Northland Ct (Rockford, MI)  house when cleaning out Byrdie's apartment. I am guessing this to be Easter Sunday, 1957.
Can you name everyone?
 
 
Here is who I have identified (names at the time of picture) :
L-R back row: Pauline & Harold Streeter
L-R middle row: Pam Streeter, Violet Armstrong, Frances Pearl Atwood, Brydie Sarkees & Fred Sarkees
L-R front row:  C. Randy Streeter, Val Streeter and (I believe) Janice Emery
 
That's Grandma Vi's camper in the back (actually in the front of the lot).  Oh the memories...   :)

From Mark Streeter:

This is interesting. I’m not in the picture and I can’t think of a reason why—Randy looks more like three than the two, (and JUST two), he would have been on Easter, 1957. The trailer in the background was already painted, ( Grandpa John had a white trailer painted red and white to complement the red Rambler station wagon he bought for Grandma—which I think was a ’56 or ’57 model), and he painted it sometime after he bought it. I would bet on ’58 and maybe I was out of the picture due to becoming ready for or getting changed after having been baptized at the YMCA, and yeah, I’m with you on Janice Emery. I might be wrong but that’s my shot at it. Cool picture.


From Pam Streeter Wadsworth:

I remember that baptisms happened in the morning at the YMCA before Church.  I recall the white coats that Val and I had that Easter.  It was my pride & joy.  Mark, you were probably reading a book somewhere...  It could have been 1958, but certainly, no later. Looks like we are standing where the garage is currently. I had forgotten about the sidewalk in front of the house.  Don't you love Fred's hat?  And I remember that jacket of Byrdie's and thinking how rich they were...  My guess is Grandpa John was taking the picture.  Fun.
