  		Armstrong, George, Gina, Wanda, Irene I'm not sure of the young man on the far left, then George with Gina and Wanda (looking at photos) and Irene barely in the picture.
  		Armstrong Family I believe the older seated couple are Mary and Lawrence with Tooter. Standing are Robert, Perkin, George and Irene.
  		Armstrong, Irene standing, leaning back I wish I could put names to all the other faces
  		Armstrong, Pete, Irene and Billy Joe The first white license plate was in 1957, so this photo was in an odd year between 57 and 63, maybe.
  		Armstrong, Irene with Wanda Senn Armstrong I don't know who the man is, maybe George Reynolds or Cecil Hunter.

• Notes

  In a letter from Dell & Irene to Neeley mailed August 1945 Olney, Texas to Mt. Enterprise They bought an air conditioner on Monday. Tommy Helen got married. She and Dell went to see Dell's mother who is making peach preserves. The next door neighbor did Irene's laundry, another neighbor did the ironing. As soon as Irene gets the money, Neeley is to come see them on the bus. Another letter dated 3/21/50 Houston to Mt. Enterprise She is sorry to hear that not all is well. Little Pete is still sick and he has a water gun. Wade is still there. Dell will get Ruben's license this week. Dell wants to come see them so they can go fishing. Another letter with no date I am miserable. I want you to pray for me. I might live through it. I am about to die from wanting to see Daddy. [I have no idea what this is about.] (Medical):she could not have children of her own
