About this Photo:
My mother June Pettit with her mother Ethel on the wedding day. My mother was a bit of a bohemian which in the 50's was not a good thing. My mom was the youngest of four. My grandmother Ethel had hoped this marriage would "settle" down her wild child. That was not to be--12 years and 4 children later my mom was divorced and in 1962 woman were still shunned by our society for being divorced. I remember as a child the whispers and the friends lost because she was the dreaded of all females--a divorcee! However, for my mom, the 60's were truly her liberation.
This wedding photo captures a moment in time of happiness....
