This is a photo of my mom, Florin Young, with Emily (who was known as Emmie in those days) and Juli. It is from June 1979 and taken in Woodbridge, Virginia where we were living at the time. Elise was to have been born by this time but she decided to come in July, long after my parents left to go back to California. We were in Virginia for Steve's military training. He was attending officer basic at Fort Belvoir. In fact, when this photo was shot, he was most likely at the week-long bivouac (fancy word for camping and playing soldier) of which my due-date fell right in the middle.
I was given this photo by my friend, Jamie Kaye, in her Christmas present to me. She also included a note written to her and her mother by my mom. It is dated November 24, 2002 - written six days before she passed away. I love the books she gave me but these two pieces of history are even more special.
