Subject: Identification in a Photo
 
 
I was just visiting your website and really enjoyed it.  My aunt, Ruth Baird Shaw, told me about it.  My name is Jane Baird Lathem.  My father, John Thomas (Tom) Baird and my mother Rowena Edge Baird lived in Porterdale after their marriage and until after my birth in 1953.
 
In looking at your school photos, I discovered that my brother, Jack Thomas Baird, is pictured in one of them but is unidentified.  He is in the 1953 4th grade class, Miss Acree, and he is #3 in the front row.
 
I have wonderful fond memories of visiting my Grandmother Baird and my aunt Mary on Hazel Street.  I loved Porterdale.  I am so glad that I had such a carefree and lovely place to spend time.  
 
Thank you,
Jane Baird Lathem
