I’m posting photos from my collection of family photographs on Saturdays with a brief explanation of what I know about each picture.

Wilma Trimbee (on the left) and Olive Teresa Evelyn ‘Tess’ (Latimer) Wagner (my wife’s mother) were the best of life-long friends. They were next door neighbours in the 1950’s and although Tess and husband Carl would move across Canada, literally from coast to coast, Wilma and Tess remained inseparable. This photo was taken when Wilma was visiting Tess at her home in Nanaimo, British Columbia.

Tess passed away in 1997 but we will be celebrating Wilma’s 97th birthday later this year.
