Sentimental Sunday: "My two Sweetie Pies" - Winona, Minnesota, October 1951

Last year, while cleaning out the study of my late father, Frederick Henry Pape (1929-2017), I found a number of old black-and-white photos from the early and mid-1950s.  Some of them appear to have been taken by his father, my Grandpa, Paul Robert Pape (1896-1970), and may have been sent to my dad during his time in Korea.  Grandpa put numbers on the front of the images, and also wrote captions on the back.  The caption on this one said, "At Winona Minn Oct 1951 My two Sweetie Pies."

The woman on the left is my grandmother, Elizabeth Florence Massmann Pape (1902-2000).  The woman on the right is my aunt, Dad's sister Marilyn Electa Pape Hedger.  Grandpa referred to her in other pictures as "Sweetie Pie."

Marilyn attended the College of Saint Teresa in Winona around this time, so that is probably why they were there.

I'll be sharing more of the images in the future.
