Nola Mundt (on the right) with two of her friends in June 1934,

probably right after high school.

Nola (again on the right?) with two of her friends,

at "camp" in 1936.

Nola (on the left this time) in 1937 - there are supposed to be 

three friends in this picture.

Jim Mayes in his senior high school picture - 

from 1934.

Jim Mayes in 1937. This picture may have been taken around the time

of his first job - pumping gas at a service station. He told me that he was paid a dollar a day,

and that he felt guilty because he took the job away from a man who was trying to

support a family (but the man was a heavy drinker).

*****

A picture from 1938 shows Jim Mayes (on the right) with a couple of friends. I was

in my forties when Dad surprised me with the news that, before Mom straightened

him out, he was Pittsburg's equivalent of a juvenile delinquent.

January 1, 1939, Jim Mayes and Nola Mundt were married. They drove to a nearby town to

see a movie as their 'honeymoon'. And they missed out on the 'shivaree' their friends

had planned because it snowed after they got home, and the friends could see no tracks

in the snow and thought that the couple was spending the night elsewhere.
