Sept. 28, 2009- An Even Younger Henry Bonner

On August 26, 2009, I posted a great picture of some of my family that included my father, Henry Forbis Bonner. He looked to be about 13 and I commented that in this photo he was the youngest of any photos that I have. Well, thanks to my Uncle Buddy, I now have some older photos of him. They are really nice. Here are a few. You will notice he is the youngest in each of these photos. All were taken in Caddo, Oklahoma around 1929.

In this photo there is Buddy, Ross (father), Henry and Alvene Bonner.





















Standing by the car is Alvene, Henry and Buddy Bonner. Their mother, Eula Manning Bonner is inside the car.

Here are some other cute photos with Henry, Buddy, Alvene Bonner and their father, Ross Bonner.

August 26, 2009-One of My Favorite Pictures

This great picture is one of my very favorite family photos. This is a picture of some of the members of the Ross and Eula Bonner family. Left to right: Eula Manning Bonner, Ross Bonner, Alvene Bonner, Henry Forbis Bonner, Poppy Bonner and the Bonner family dog.

I'm not sure of the year, but I'm guessing about 1937. Henry Forbis Bonner is my father and this photo shows him at the youngest age of any of the family photos.

Very Nice!

Jan. 21, 2009-Henry Forbis Bonner

With the birthday of my father, Henry Forbis Bonner, coming up in the next few days, I would like to tell you a bit about him. His parents were Ross Bonner and Eula Manning. He was born in 1925 in Caddo, Oklahoma. He graduated from High School at Capitol Hill High School in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He married my mother, Naomi Frances Harris. He enlisted in the Navy in 1943 and went to the Pacific. His ship, the USS Gambier Bay was sunk and he survived with a severe leg injury. He and my mother subsequently divorced and he married Luella Palmer. He and Lou had two children, David and Charisse. This bit of a blog is not about us, but about him. I will show you some pictures on Flickr where you can see him at various ages. And then I will add more later. Henry died in 1991. He greatly influenced my life.
