My great grandmother Christine Brita Kristina (Olson) Erickson and my cousin Ronnie Erickson
just before he was shipped out to the Pacific during World War II. He served there in the army
till 1945. Ronnie is the son of my uncle Helmer (Erick Alof) Erickson, though that being true,
Ronnie was raised by Christine, his grandmother, who he was very close to her whole life.

Photograph was taken in 1943 in Los Angeles, California where Christine lived in the 1940s and 1950s.
