Here's my guess. The occasion must have been a visit from Uncle Elmer and Lois - the two in red shirts. Uncle Hank is behind them. The children are Chris Gramm and Libby (?) in front of him, Shelley, Eric (the bubble head), and Casey - and looks like Mary holding his hand. Way in the back is Carol with the scarf, Liz, and I'd say Aunt Florence way back.
That probably is you on the side - makes more sense as there is no other evidence of Lynn's family. Lois is Uncle Elmer's wife. He left his first wife and married her and Mother never let me call her "aunt".
They were interesting people in my eyes! They lived in Florida and came to Gridley in their cadillac convertible pulling a silver airstream trailer. They both smoked constantly, she had a very raspy voice, and wore strapless dresses and sunglasses. She was definitely my vision of a "worldly" woman.
Mother, Perry and I drove to Florida to stay with them for a week the summer after Dad died. They begged and begged Mother to wear some bermuda shorts - she finally weakened and bought some. I managed to get a picture of her in them but she tore up the picture!
They had a son Denny who is my age. He was very cute and drove a little red Fiera convertible. Can't you just picture Perry, Denny and me driving around Clearwater in that car! They also had a pool in the backyard. It was a very fun week!
Isn't it interesting how thoughts from long-gone days come back to mind. Sorry if this "comment" is too long and got off the subject.

I couldn't tell Aunt Florence, and who is Lois? I thought maybe that was Dorothy? And maybe me holding Casey's hand.

Is the one in the yellow T shirt Elizabeth? I thought the one way in the back was Mother. A great picture.
Alice, you might be right that it's mother in the back. Yes, the little girl is Elizabeth - I thought I included her the first time around.
