Barry, this was the same Vaughn Smith that was the photographer in Leon. All your baby pictures were taken by him until you were about 5, He also took Ray and my picture when Ray was in the Navy and it is hanging on our wall today. I worked at Grahams Dept Store and his office was upstairs over the store. He was a good photographer. Mom

I think he moved his "Studio"across the street, later on, didn't he?....over there by Cross' pool hall? He would also come to your place and take pictures. I was brought up in an old farm house 2 miles north and west of Decatur and we had him out several times to take pictures.....still have 'em.....mac ----- Original Message ----- From: BRWest@aol.com To: IADECATU-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 1:07 PM Subject: [IADECATU] Was the Vaughn Smyth the photographer in Leon?
