Mostly pictured quiet smiling little old ladies with gray hair and a cat crawling about their feet! A few younger images too. But no tattoos or truck drivers....(not sure that was one tho)
A family friend of my Mom's was a little lady named Alice. She had worked in the gov offices in a local town. That was what I knew of her. She stood about 4 ft 5" tall and was slight of frame. When she attended a birthday party for one of my grands she(she was 88 then) was telling that she used to teach in a little town in the back of beyond in Canada. They had no roads and no contact with anyone but parents for long periods of time. She lived beside the one room school. When younger she also drove deucenhalves(huge trucks) in the army! Picture the troop transport vehicles you see with all the soldiers sitting in the back waving at everyone! She drove in dangerous situations and did it for several years. To look at her you would never believe she lived that kind of life!
Funny how you don't see all that in the person you are looking at!!
