My aunt, Jo Ann (Sister Jean Marie) Guokas is 93 today! Here is a photo of her from 1946 - she is at the lower right. She is with her companion group that entered the Congregation of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament convent in Houston, Texas, in 1946. Five of the six had been students at Incarnate Word Academy (which my mother, Geraldine Margaret Guokas Pape, 1928-2019, also graduated from, in 1945). The photograph was taken in the beautiful gardens of the Incarnate Word Convent, then at 3650 Bissonnet.
