If the baby in the tub is Little Pete, the boy is probably Uncle Pete (Ira). If the boy is Little Pete, the baby is probably Joe Dale. |

The first white license plate was in 1957, so this photo was in an odd year between 57 and 63, maybe. |

| Notes |
- Pete was born prematurely and no one except his mother expected him to live. When the other kids asked, they were told to call him Pete and they didn't know until many years later that his name wasn't Pete. In the mid-50s, Pete proudly displayed his new Social Security Card to sister Nettie Mae who told him that his name wasn't Pete at all but Ira Franklin, after his two grandfathers but no one ever called him anything but Pete.
A letter from Pete to Neeley dated 1/22/70 (Bobby Jack's birthday)
Pasadena to Henderson
Eulane has the flu. Bobby Jack got his dollar and thought it was another Christmas present.
- (Medical):born premature, was so small doc said he wouldn't live. he was not given a name until he was 6 years old.
