For those of you who like journaling...
I got my middle name from my great-great grandmother Josphine Edwards and my grandmother Alva Josephine Trainer. My mother knew of a majorette at the University of Texas, where she and my dad both went to school, by the name of Libby. She thought it was a cute name. My maiden name, Locklear, is a Lumbee Indian name. The Lumbee Indians are located in North Carolina. When I married John, I took his last name, which means bird in Hungarian.
In this photo, I am thirty-nine. My great-great grandmother's photo was dated 1903 and was taken in Sayers, Texas. My granny's photo was probably taken around 1920. Because I am my grandmother's namesake, I inherited a beautiful gold locket that my great-great grndmother gave to her. It is inscribed:
"From Grandmother to Josephine"
...yes, this is the same photo as my title page (I don't have many) I just reversed it and changed to sepia ;)
