Franks family photos from the past

 

On our last trip to Arkansas,  I took a picture of these photos of Uncle Bo and Aunt Dolores. These were photos of the original paintings by Dolores Franks, as noted on the back of each photo.  Jesse Gibson Franks, who we knew as Uncle Bo Franks, was the brother of  Cindy's grandmother, Mildred Franks Baggett. This painting was based on an old photo circa June 1969 when he received his Doctor of Education degree from Ball State University in Muncie IN.

The 2nd photo is from  a self portrait of Dolores, the original is a 12x18 acrylic painted from a photo at their wedding reception on March 3, 1973 in Taichung, Taiwan.
