Special Guest Artist: Mom!

I was going through my folders and was surprised (and pleased) to run across an old brown spiral notebook. I could have sworn it was in the Family Archives. It contained work by Mom. She was in high school, and they were studying Julius Caesar when she made these drawings, drawings she was proud enough to sign her name to. Anice, Melba, and - could the unknown be an attempt at a self portrait? The notebook had been preserved in the garage at Loop Drive for decades. We were always impressed when we were kids when she would very occasionally knock out a drawing or two; it seemed a magical process and memory wants to make them better than they surely were, though I think better than these early efforts. For a hoot, I ran one through ChatGPT. If Mom were alive and could correct for hair and eye color, I wonder just how much this would look like the real Anice?
