Three Little (Mer)maids

Cathy, Me & Jan in Sugar Creek

Three sisters in a creek circa 1964. Cathy, the oldest, me, the youngest, and Jan, the middle child! Our father, Duck Brown, taught us to swim in Sugar Creek in South Georgia. A watermelon was always floating nearby, cooling. Cathy now has three children (Hillary 15, Garrison 14 and Luke 7) and Jan has two boys (Donnie 24 and Shawn 22). Counting my two children, Jaime and James, that makes seven grandchildren. When our parents married in 1959, someone wrote on the side of their two-tone Chevrolet, "Watch Georgia Grow." How prophetic!
