1E-Mail from Sue Eagle Sparkman about authenticity of photograph of baby Rodney Sparkman Sr.
"09 Dec 2002
Hi Rod, I have this picture, it is Rodney and he is between 1 and 2 years old according to Louise, but I think that he was younger than that--as he is sorta propped up and not sitting on his own, which would mean he was between 6 and 8 months old.

Subj:Any idea as to the authenticity of this photo? Date:12/8/2002 9:56:15 AM Central Standard Time From: spartech@aros.net (Rod Sparkman) To: suesgenes@aol.com ('Sue Eagle Sparkman') File:image001.zip (34388 bytes) DL Time (42666 bps): < 1 minute Sue: When my sister Louise came from California in 1983, she gave me several photos including the one below. She wrote on the bottom of it that this was a picture of my dad when he was about two. Wayne, when visiting in 2002, told me that Louise stated this was a picture of my aunt Lorena. Any ideas? I would greatly appreciate your input. Thanks a bunch!
