Mother and Daddy
~1950
This was Mother and Daddy 's engagement announcement photo used in the Savannah News Paper.
They were married March 26, 1950
at Sacred Heart Catholic Church on Bull St.
in Savannah, GA.
They spent their honeymoon on a train headed for Daddy's new Marine Corps post assignment, Philadelphia, PA.
Mother had never been out of the southeast.
Suddenly she was married to a Polish Catholic Marine from Erie, PA, and she was living in Philadelphia, PA.
I think Mother was pretty "spunky" for her day!
Happy Trails,

Going from GA to PA had to have been culture shock for your Mom in the '50's.

Real spunky for all her days! You get some of that from her. But your daddy had spunk, too. No way you could miss! That's what lets you take off to AK on your own! Great pic! SH

Morning Ms. K.
What a beautiful picture of your parents. I see where you get your beauty. Your Mom was definitely ahead of the times. She was indeed one spunky Southern Belle!!!
Madi and Mom
Yes, your mom had spunk! Just like you!!! Beautiful photo!
They are a beautiful couple. It must be so much fun for you to decide on your Sunday photos :)
What a beautiful couple!! You are so lucky to have that picture to treasure!! Talk about a big move...I guess that was a little nerve wracking to move from Georgia to Philadelpia...but when you are in love nothing will stop you!! Love, Debbie and Holly
I can see you in your mom's face. Beautiful couple, Kit!! xoxo
Of course your mom is spunky, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!
Have a great rest of your weekend.

What a handsome couple. Both of them. Interesting how mom is "mother" and dad is "daddy". Hmmm BOL

What a beautiful couple! Your Mom was very brave (and very in love I'm sure)to travel so far from home!
What a beautiful couple they made and what a brave lady she must have been!!! That is not something most women would have been strong enough to do in her day.

What a great pic! I am sure she was a little scared to go....but she was really brave!
Hi Kit,
What a beautiful picture of your Mom and Dad!!!
It had to be a shock for your Mom going from Ga to Pa!! How long did she live up there??
Kiss the kids, Bambi & Fern
