Ethel Pearl Parsley
Pearl was the oldest, born in May 1913, she just celebrated her 90th birthday.  She was an educator first & foremost.  She was the family leader, a dynamic talent.  I loved all of my siblings, but I looked up to Pearl more than any other.
She married George B. Parsley and had three children, Irma, Elaine and George William.
Pearl died September 7th, 2005 at the age of 92.

George B. on the right
The date on the back says 1931. Frankly, George looks more that 15 there.  Is the other man his dad? I think it looks more like Uncle Lewis.
"Uncle Lewis it is."
