Mamaw and Papaw McConnell

My cousin's, (Cecelia) husband, Martin Ferguson, scanned these pictures from negatives.

I love them!!! These are my paternal grandparents, John and Thelma Valentine McConnell--circa 1940's.

Papaw was a whiz of a car mechanic, working many years in Kingsport at Latimer Looney Chevrolet. Mamaw was a homemaker who loved her cats, dogs, birds and squirrels in her yard. (Don't you love her 'socks' in the picture on the steps?! That must be where I get my fashion savvy!)
