Betty's Haven
 My Hinds Family This is another picture of my uncle George at age 17. He was sure a good and fun uncle. One time he had a Studebaker "Teraplane" (I think it was called) car and called it his airplane because he would drive it so fast! I rode in it with him to Tahlequah one time from Cookson and it really "flew" over those dirt roads! He was a great uncle who I wish was still living. I am glad for the many happy memories though. This is a picture of my grannie Ina and one of her grandsons, ready to go fishing on the Illinois river. She would make up a bunch of  "doughballs" out of meal and use them for fish bait. There was a "cane break" out back of her house where she would get cane poles to fish with. One time I remember we went to the river on past the cane break and camped out all night on the river. We kids slept on a quilt on the ground. The adults fished, probably all night. That was something to awaken the next morning to the sound of fish frying on a camp fire. My grannie, my cousin and me in 1954 after I married. I am expecting my first child. I was living in AZ but came back to visit in OK. I got to know my grannie better after I grew up and had children of my own. I miss my grannie. She died in 1977 in CA.  This is a picture of my aunt Nora, my Great aunt Aggie, sister of grannie Ina and my mom, Dollie. EMAIL
