Hi Giggsy:
I've had some personal problems (don't most of us these days?) and I have to say, your last comment had me laughing out loud. Thank you for the good chuckle.
Dora does appear to be sitting at an angle. However, looking at the chair in relation to everything else, it appears to be at an angle. If that is true, why they wouldn't have fixed it seems odd, but who knows.
I noticed that I had another reply and now see your reply, Gadget. All of my grandparents either passed away prior to my birth or shortly after. We came down to the states when I was young but since my dad worked for an airline, we returned home (Ontario) at least once a year. During our visits Dora was never mentioned. I didn't even know her maiden name prior to beginning my research. I started researching when I was in college (which was a long time ago)
and my dad and aunt only mentioned their father's side of the family. They didn't even know that Dora's parents were born in Ireland.
In answer to your question, Gadget, nothing was mentioned about Dora's eyesight. I only knew her first name.
I'm sitting here, trying to duplicate how she was sitting. I can't quite get her pose. Originally, something was holding me back about posting the entire photograph but you all have been very kind with your suggestions and interest. I will attach the entire photo in a few minutes as seeing the entire group could be helpful.
Thank you Giggsy and Gadget for your comments.
