Garland Moore was born 18 January 1929

Garland Moore is not, strictly speaking, related to our family. He was the brother-in-law of Keith Carrigan (my first husband, father of my children). I'm posting this because I just happen to have a picture of Garland. These were my in-laws, spouses of Keith's siblings. Garland was the husband of Charlene 'Sissy' Carrigan; Lucia (right) was the wife of Doss 'Sonny' Carrigan; Florence (left) is the wife of Aubrey Carrigan; and that's me in the front. This picture was taken at Christmas 1977, at my mother-in-law's house in Fairhope, Alabama.
