Portrait of Edna Ruth Parker
Mrs. Edna Parker. Taken today, August 28th, 2007, in Shelbyville, Indiana, by Douglas Huntley. Edna is a very sweet, lovely yet delicate lady with whom I sincerely enjoyed spending some of the afternoon with today. While she liked the planter I brought her, she was more interested in the large Teddy Bear someone had left her.Credit: The original uploader was DougHuntley at English Wikipedia.
