Chapter 21: Dinner at the Hasselquists

The adults' table.  From left to right:  Mom's face cut in half lengthwise, someone who amazingly resembles Uncle Rudy (my Dad's sister Ruth's husband), Gene Hasselquist, three unidentified women, and a side portion of Gladys Hasselquist's head.  (Not your best work, Dad.)  My clearest memory of the Hasselquist's home is the dark woodwork.

The kids' table.  Let's start with the boy in the maroon shirt who stands front and center.  I have no idea who he is or who at the adult table he belongs to. Peeking around his torso is Lynn Hasselquist.  Then we have a Shirley Temple lookalike.  The boy in the maroon pants with suspenders looks likeMaroon Shirt's brother -- look at the shape of their heads -- but it's Peter Hasselquist, Lynn's younger brother.  The girl standing in the doorway looks exactly like Miriam Hasselquist at age 6, at least as I remember her from Christmas photo cards, but she was only two months old at this time.  Larry has already taken a seat, probably thinking, "When are we going to eat?"  I don't know the girl who's wearing what appears to be an apron or oversized bib   She's definitely sending me a very friendly signal.  (Wonder if I responded)  At least I think that's my right ear and the sleeve of my blue cowboy shirt.  I was always tall for my age, but here I seem to tower over the rest of the group.
