Family barbecues by the lake were common in the 1960’s. Doris, a.k.a. Grandma was a hard worker. She usually wore her nurse’s aide outfit and rarely sat down. The story behind this photo is unknown but if we had to guess, it looks like Camille dropped her hotdog and Grandma has come to the rescue while Camille’s father comforts her.
