  For today's #blastfromthepast , I hope it's ok if I re-share a pic I posted about 6 months ago.
  +Kalebra Kelby's cute story of Yittle's first "big girl' eye exam (see that post at https://plus.google.com/u/0/107430637753481876221/posts/VKjfYrd8DAg ) reminded me again of my mom…(who we lost in 2005). 

  Mom was born in Mexico where my grandfather and grandmother had set up a missionary medical clinic. Grandpa knew early on that mom had poor vision, and at 18-months old, he ground the lenses to make her very first eyeglasses.
(how he knew what prescription to use for a toddler is beyond me!)

This is mom at 3-years old (1934).
Grandpa would have loved the technology we have today…we have many of his 16mm movies from the 1930s, as well as a variety of old cameras (including 3-D), and he developed a number of revolutionary devices to assist with orthopedic surgery. 
   Sadly, he died in 1966 before all the real techie fun began, and before I was old enough to really know him.
