GLADYS KALLMAN at Balboa High School in 1948


Instead of where's Waldo, let's play "Where's Gladys?"



This photo includes Gladys Kallman. I know this because her brother George wrote a note and attached it to the photo. Otherwise I'd have never found her.

I believe this to be Gladys Kallman's senior photo. It measures 36" x 8". How on earth was anyone supposed to display this? As would be expected, it was folded.

1948. The war was over, but in just a few years we'd be sending troops to another war. Korea. What became of the class of 1948. Old enough to be your parents? Your grandparents? Think of the stories these people could tell. These kids would now be around 80 years old.

Now, go ahead and find Gladys. You may need to go back to last weeks Sepia Saturday post to remember what Gladys looked like.

Unlike handing your yearbook around for signatures, these kids handed around this photo. Here are just a few messages written to Gladys on the back of the photo.




And now...here's Gladys. Look at the third row up from the bottom, about 1/3 of the way through.



Another Sepia Saturday post.

GLADYS KALLMAN, George's sister


For this weeks Sepia Saturday I'm focusing on Gladys Kallman, sister of George Kallman.

I know nothing about Gladys other than I believe she may have been a nurse, just like her mother. I need to dig deeper within the hundreds of photos I now own.

She went to Balboa High School in San Francisco, graduating with the June 1948 class. I'll be featuring the graduating class photo in the future. It measures 35.5" x 8" and is full of signatures on the back.

For now let's just watch Gladys grow up. And take a look at this previous post showing her and George as children.
