Frances Jean Bloom Ghertner (1921-1978)

I came across this picture of my mom in a batch of scans from Memphis. She has the ever present cigarette in her hand. She’d toss it on the ground, temporarily, to make a golf shot but not for a photograph (?). This had been labeled as being from 1968 but judging from the cars in the background I conclude it was a few years earlier. The most recent model car I see is a 1961 Ford (on the on the left); directly behind her seems to be a 1954 Buick (like this one) and on the right is at least one 1957 Ford (link). Cars didn’t last long back then.
