Meet the Barr and Gooder families in this set of found photos. Betty Barr married Wilbur (Bill) Barr and these are their family slides of life in DesMoines, Iowa, between 1949 and 1954. Betty passed on in late 2012, which is how Vieilles Annonces came upon the slides (estate sale). The pictures are wonderful. As ever, we can imagine the story between the photographs.
