"If you die, you're dead. That's all." Those are the words that Nettie Featherston was quoted as uttering by Dorothea Lange in June, 1938, when this photo was taken. This is a family who had been forced off their farm in Oklahoma and intended to get to California to find migrant work. They ran out of money in Childress, Texas. A local farmer took pity on them and hired the whole family to pick cotton for him. They ended up staying. Some people who went through this national disaster died of dust pneumonia, some got so completely lost in the migrant stream that they had no more ties back home. Nettie had kept in touch with the farmer who hired them to pick cotton, and he knew Nettie had moved to Lubbock. She had never been able to get out of poverty, and so she is an important reminder that not everyone came out of the Depression better off. --taken from an oral history by the Ganzel Group.

Rob, I thought I was the only one with a flat forehead, but I see on the photo that Nettie Featherston was dealing with this problem as well, ☺ .

I've found that the cause of having a flat forehead has a simple reason: if someone asks me a question from which I owe the answer, and that he / she then shows (mostly with a triumphant look in his/her eyes) that he/she already knows the answer, I hit my forehead with a flat hand, and say: "I could have known this too."

Seriously now: by reading 'Nik''s comment above, do me suppose that Nettie Featherston could relativize things into a proper perspective, despite the many setbacks/hardship. The perfect with your chosen colors reflects the hardships of that time.

Thanks for for performing another excellent job, my friend.

Yes, the coloring does look like someone in the family took a shot of Grandma, just last Sunday at the picnic. Stan had told her a joke she found funny and so that's why she's slapping her forehead. Of course, it's not, but your coloring, Rob, makes these people come alive.

Colors work so very well, especially the skin tone on this one, makes a remarkable difference in viewing with your colorization.
