This is a picture that was taken of Bill right before the men's ABC bowling tournament that I think was held somewhere in WI. Probably back in the 70's or 80's. Not sure but I know it was a long time ago.
L-R: Danny and Conni, Pat (Danny's youngest son) and Tommy Yoe, Debbie's only son and Bill Yoe in the background, behind the couch.

L-R. Bill, Phil, "My Sister Girl" Shirl and Danny.
This was taken while Gene and Shirl were down here from Quincy, IL. on vacation. They came to our home in Shelby and we drove down to GA. and spent a couple of days with Dan and Conni. G/S left from GA. to go back to IL. and Bill and I left a day earlier to come on back home.
Gene is now living in TX. where his daughter and her family live and my beloved sister is living in Heaven with God and the rest of our family and friends that are also living there. That would include my Bill,both my Mother/Daddy, baby brother Larry and both of Bill's parents. My dear Mother/Father-in-laws, Stella and Kenny Yoe.
This would have been taken at my Grandma Courtney's BD cake cutting taken at my Mother/Daddy's. From our left-right:Seated: A young Patt Hudson Graeser, My Uncle Kenny Courtney, Our friend Alice, Bill, little Candy Hudson Willing: back row: standing: Mother, Sister Girl Shirl and myself and at the time I was pregnant with our little Donna.

Bill putting together my little electric train for C'Mas . It was a cute addition.
Bill and Danny were in CA. visiting one of Danny's good friends and they played a lot of golf and these cars are actually golf carts which I think are so unique. How cool is this?
Taken in front of our home in Grandview Acres, Quincy,IL. in one of Quincy's famous snow storms !!! What Fun and it's the only thing that I don't miss in my beloved home town.
Bill and Debbie standing in our lovely garden holding Debbie's pet Chickens, Dennis and Chipper. Both hens and laid the large brown eggs.
We always had such a great garden and back in those days I taught myself how to can and so, can I did. I was so proud of myself and would just stand back and look at all my filled jars and admire them. Now, Paul and his good friend, Larry, have a huge garden and hopefully I'll get back to doing a little canning once again. I'm even looking forward to doing it. Nothing like going out in your back yard and picking a fresh tomato, ummmmmmmmm, I can almost taste it now and can hardly wait.
Grandpa Yoe feeding our little Grandson Tommy. Tommy was just a few days old when this was taken. He was a baby doll and now he is a big baby doll and the same goes for our other 2 grandson's Brian and Pat.
I always thought a kiss wasn't a kiss unless you closed your eyes and I see that Bill didn't have his eyes closed. Must not have meant anything to Mr. Yoe. Oh yeah, that is a Christmas Bow on my head.
PS. That's OK Bill, I know you loved me !!!

This would have been taken out at Gene and Shirl's home. We had been at the Elks with a bunch of our friends while we were up there on vacation. When we finished at the Elks we went out to the Howell's and had a few drinks and heard a bunch of jokes. We always had such great times with all of these people. Now that home has been sold, Bill and Shirl have gone to a better place and Gene has moved to TX. to be close to his daughter, my niece, LeeAnn, her husband Tom and their daughter Anne. Molly (my little Shih Tzu and best friend) and I are in Shelby, N.C. where we live on the other side of youngest daughter Debbie and son-in-law Paul and about 7 miles from our oldest daughter Donna and son-in-law Charlie. Danny and Conni live in Marietta, GA. and Danny's boys Pat and Brian live in Athens,GA. and Debbie's son Tommy lives here in Shelby. Tommy is married to Melanie and they have a daughter Kenedi and a son Collin.

Bill's sister Doris Dieker and her husband Joe (now deceased) and Bill (also now deceased) and myself at their Grandma Bradford's 100th Birthday party. It was a pretty hectic day for Grandma Bradford with everyone there and we were making her nervous. She, in her cute little way told all of us, and I quote "if you all have homes, I wish you would go to them, you are making me nervous". She was quite the little gal that believed in speaking her mind. She was, at one time, a very interesting person to talk to and told me lots of stories that she could remember from when she was younger.

This picture, along with a lot of the local boys who were in the service from Quincy. All their pictures were hung around the walls of a local pool hall and when the hall was sold the pictures were given to their owners. I didn't know Bill when he was in the Navy but I met him when he was home and on his way to Chicago, IL. to be discharged. We started dating shortly after and that was in 1946. We were engaged in 47 and got married in 48.
