This is a great picture of Grandma. Donna says she used to go to the store with her hair in rollers. Barbara is hidden next, I think. And I think that is my mom in the background.
This is Peter Affleck Clayton with his third wife Constance.
This is Peter Affleck Clayton with his first wife Agnes, who was Grandpa's mother.
