1941-1944

Home   Walt & Norma Robbins Page WW2 Timeline Page

 

This Photo Album was created by Norma Haas Robbins, ID0006 and covers the dates from 1941 to 1944. 
When I received this album most of the photos had already been removed and the 78 below are all that remained. 

Most of the photos were laying loose in between pages of the album

In the original album there were 12 pages with places for 174 photos (front and back).  There were 9 empty pages (front and back)

I removed the photos and grouped them according to date, photo session, or subject.
I scanned the photos at 800dpi to their original size and saved them as .tif files. 

I created Low-Res .jpg files and thumbnails to be used on this page. 

The Hi-Res images were uploaded to an online storage server.

It will be noticed there are several photos of Norma in different outfits and different poses - It must be remembered that her mother was a seamstress who, later in life, worked professionally - she had made all the clothes for her girls.  I am sure there are an equal number of photos of the other girls as well.

1.  I do not ever recall any mention of a family dog - this may be just a neighborhood dog

2.  Notice the street light in the left side of the image - I can recall Mom talking about the kids in the neighborhood would gather at night under that light and play games

1.  Probably taken at the Fairview Farm in Randolph County, Indiana

2.  I suspect this was taken on E. Washington St. in Muncie - Norma's sister Wilma and her husband lived for a time on that street

1.  Notice the cellar door to the left of Norma - The 17th St. house had been built in 1919 and later August dug the basement by hand and this was the only entrance to the basement.

2.  Mom talked about the piano and said that her mother, Mabel and Barbara played the piano - Norma had wanted to learn but Grandma (Mabel) wouldn't let her because Wilma wouldn't practice so she didn't let the other girls, until Barbara, take lessons.

3.  The front porch of the 17th St House was originally open with a roof.  Later, in the 1950's or 1960's this porch was enclosed.  As a child I remember the posts being a green color.

1.  There is an older woman looking out the back door - I am unsure who this person might have been - It is not Mabel - this is obviously an older lady

2.  Walter was stationed at Fort Carson near Colorado Springs, Colorado from 15 March 10 10 Aug 1944 - Norma joined him there - They lived in a small apartment they called "The Robbins Nest" - these are some of their many friends that were there with them (See WW2 Timeline, 1944)
