They're ALL reversed!<br /> <br />Taking a closer look at the other girls, I realized that the girl<br />to the left of Fidessa, captioned as Violet Cleem, is actually<br />Verlie Cameron (who later married Ed Wilwant).<br /> <br />Verlie was also Mom's BFF - literally. I also knew Verlie and Ed<br />all my life, till they died. They were best friends of my parents.<br /> <br />If this is correct, then here is the correct caption:<br /> <br />Front: Eileen Twamley, Mamie Cleem (Team Captain), Mae Gamble<br /> <br />Back: Isabelle Fitzpatrick, Verlie Camron, Fidessa Wilkie, Dick Lapp (coach),<br /> Leila Davis (MY MOTHER!), Violet Cleem, Fern Fitzpatrick.<br /> <br />I checked out some of the other girls in other pictures. It bears<br />out my "backwards" theory, though most aren't clear enough to<br />make out features.<br /> <br />I remember Mom showing me her Annual, but it was so many<br />decades ago that I don't remember if she told me about the<br />caption. She would have known. <br /><br />KentKent Myricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17544460.post-577637553187749812012-01-08T16:11:13.902-06:002012-01-08T16:11:13.902-06:00A Gamble family descendant told me this, however: ...A Gamble family descendant told me this, however: The girl in back, third from the left, MIGHT be my Grandpa Bo's sister, Mae Gamble Yeager...

Mom (Lelia Davis) was one of them.<br />I have her Annual.<br /> <br />I KNOW WHO THEY ARE. Front Row: Mae Gamble, Mamie Cleem (Team Captain), Eileen Twamley. Back Row: Fern Fitzpatrick, Violet Cleem, Fidessa Wilkie, Dick Lapp (coach), Leila Davis (MY MOTHER!), Verlie Cameron, and Isabelle Fitzpatrick. (Please note that the names of Fidessa Wilkie and Lelia Davis are reversed in the picture caption in the book. I show them correctly here.
