Pic #143 - May 22, 2012
If you believe in reincarnation... this might be a story for you. My dad sent this picture to me, so while I can't take credit for taking it, I thought it was too special to pass up. Many relatives have told me I look like my paternal grandmother, Mary Baideme, but I don't think I've ever seen a photo with such a striking resemblance as this one. Apparently the back of the photo says "Mary Mutch", which means she wasn't yet married to my grandfather, Samuel Baideme. This places the photo in or before 1934, making her around 22 years old. As we celebrated her 100th birthday earlier this month, you may remember she was born in 1912 :). She passed away in 1984, just 13 months before I was born. I never had the pleasure of meeting her, but I've been told we share much more in common than just our good looks :).
