| This is me as a baby with my grandmother, Stella Rose Gilbert and Harvey Sr. Gilbert. My cousins and I always called them "Mammy" and "Pappy". |
 |
| This is me with my pap Gilbert and my uncle Bob (Jesse) ALEXANDER--my mother's brother. The ape in the middle is a large suffed animal my grandmother Stella won playing bingo. They thought I'd be afraid of it but it turned out to be one of my favorite toys. I named him"Mr. Bananas" when I got older. I loved to rock him on my child sized rocker while I fed him both real and pretend food. We had to wash his face off pretty often. |

| WHAT A DIFFERENCE SOME HAIR MAKES ! Here they are together five years ago at the Camelot Resturant where we would take my grandmother for her birthday every year. They are from left: Gerald (fat) Gilbert, Richard (Pret) Gilbert holding his grandson's hand, Harvey (Hottie) Jr. Gilbert, Gene (my dad) Gilbert and Robert (Bob) Gilbert. My grandmother Stella ROSE is seated. |
