PART TWO: The second generation (Pete's generation)...

We have already seen Pete's cousin KENNY CARD's Christmas cards, - so here are other examples of his paintings...

ABOVE: KENNETH CARD, RSM CARD (Retired) with his painting of AFRICAN ELEPHANTS.

 Two tranquil village scenes by Ken, and (Below) Ken's amazing amalgamate picture of the World's landmarks - how many can you name?

More of Ken's artwork later, but here (below) are some by his sister BETTY CARD...

ABOVE: Pete's cousin BETTY CARD with her drawings of  Elvis and John Lennon.

Now Betty's Real name is VALERIE, though her mother wanted to call her VALENTINE, as she was born on Valentine's day. Until, that is, her dad, Bert, pointed out that she would be VALENTINE CARD!

However, Betty prefers to be known by a shortened version of her second name, ELIZABETH. 

Betty and Ken's older brother was called Herbert, after his father, but was always known as BERTIE - whereas their younger sister BERYL was Christened FLORENCE, and prefers her second name, BERYL...

BERYL does not want her pictured shown here, but above is BERTIE, BETTY and KEN, with BERYL's drawing of BERTIE when he was in the army...

and below are more examples of BERYL's artwork...
