Ancestors

Bogaki sisters .jpg Last Saturday I went to a Bogaski family reunion on Red Top Mountain by Lake Alatoona. I got this picture of the Bogaski sisters probably taken in the late 1950s. The woman second from the right is my late father's mother, who married Carl Cunningham, my grandfather. When I was a child I knew her as "Momma C". She died with dementia around 1967.
