Family at Dawson House

Barbara Hobbs Sparks, pictured in center, describes Charles Hobbs' homecoming: "I have that picture and every time I look at it I can remember that day vividly. That picture was taken in Aunt Grace and Uncle Dee's yard. The dinner was at their home. The war was not over, and people were scattered everywhere. I think Jocelyn had a job in Alaska, later in California - I don't know how she got there. Aunt Lydia lived in Arizona then. Pretty amazing to get a crowd together on short notice. Uncle Lyman lived in Purcell. The dog's name was Jiggs."
