Mom, Me and Dad 1947

3 Yrs Old, Christmas

All Grown Up in 1978 
I arrived January 19, 1947.  My parents named me Evelyn Victoria Lynn.  I am not sure where the Victoria came from, but Evelyn was my father's mother's name and my mother's sister's name.  I was never called Evelyn...and Victoria was only used when someone was upset with me.  I was always called "Vicki".  The picture in the center was taken in front of our little house in Manhattan Beach, California.   
 
The letter below was written to my father, David Lynn V and is from my Great Uncle, David Lynn IV, Architect of the Capitol.  It is typed on his official letterhead and is one of my most valued treasures.
 
I like to think that if my parents had lived to see me marry, have children, a grandchild and could have witnessed my adventures, failures and triumphs, that I would have proven the "source of joy" my uncle wished for them in his letter.  At least I am sure they all would have found great joy in the Judge David Lynn Website.

Dear David,

     We were very happy to hear the good news regarding the new arrival.  Congratulations to both of you.  May your new daughter prove a source of joy to both of you always.

     All join in sending love and best wishes.

                         Affectionately,

                         Your Uncle,

                         David Lynn
