Graduation Time

Since we are in Graduation time, I thought I'd share a picture of Thomas Roberts Riley II and Sid and Selma at his graduation from Medical School/Ohio State.


Here is a picture from 1960 when he was an intern:

Sid's Retirement Hobby

My grandfather, Sid Riley, would draw designs on scraps of paper with colored pencils.  It was all done free hand and with out any tools.  They always reminded us of free handed Spyrographs.  He would draw them on envelopes, Christmas cards, bills, anything he had a hand.  Tom has one that is written on a back of a thank you note from one of the grandchildren.


I thought you'd might like to some of his handy work.

Family Picture Friday

I think on Fridays I will post a family picture from those we've been collecting.  Last week, it was a Brueggeman picture, this week, it's a Riley picture.


This is Sid Riley (on the right) and his long time friend Bill Whittaker (on the left).  Isn't he dapper looking?  They look pretty dressed up to be in what looks like the middle of no where in the middle of winter.

How to save a posted picture

I wanted to let you know a couple of things about the pictures posted on the blog:

1.  I  format the picture to fit in the space on the blog and I realize that sometimes it may be a little small to see the details.  Double click on the picture and it will open in a bigger version.  If you want to see it even bigger, click it again.  If you want it to be smaller again, click again.  Try with the picture below:

Selma and Sid Riley

2.  If you want to save the picture to your computer, right click on it while it is "big".   A new window will pop up and click on the "Save Image As" line. A new window will open and you will pick where you want to save it.  Windows default is to save it  XXXXX/downloads (where XXXXX is your user name).  You can navigate to someplace else to save it but just remember where you put it.  You can also rename the picture from what ever I decided to call it. Then click "Save" at the bottom.


Hope this helps you.  If you have any questions about my instructions, comment on this post.
