BAMBOO

 

My paternal and maternal grandmothers, Opie and Flora and my stepfather's mother, Alma...called Bamboo....were all, in their youths, frecked-faced red-heads....what't the probability of that? All three had beautiful silver hair by middle-age, although Opie began to color her hair a coppery tone...late in life....This pic of Bamboo is the only picture that I have of her....my uncle Mearle and aunt Lula, were coppery redheads also....two of my very best friends, now, are redheads, too......
