Sharon Ferguson shared a copy of a newspaper article by Geoffrey Dunn, published January 19, 1995 by Metro Santa Clara Valley.
It included these images of Florence Owens Thompson and her children. In the picture at right: Katherine McIntosh (the girl with her head down in Migrant Mother); Troy Owens and Norma Rydlewski, the infant in her mother's arms. |
