She was born in February of 1938 in Puerto Rico. The 4th picture is her at her 15th birthday, followed by her in her college days participating in a sorority event. The rest are her on a 30 day educational trip to Europe her university was offering. Final pic is one of her report cards :)

Left to right, Earl Warren, Eaton David and Robert Jay, my father, probably taken in Colorado. His other two brothers would be born over the next ten years or so.

Yes, dates are correct, my father was in his late 50's when I was born, and I am ancient myself.
