Picking cherries in Washington in 1941

I asked Uncle Tony about this picture and he said Grandma Lizzy Hesch and her sister Vernie Wintermeyer went to Washington state with their two daughters Fronie Hesch and Marie Wintermeyer.  They took the train to visit Lizzy and Vernie's brother Charlie, who owned an orchard in Wenatchee, Wa.

This is Fronie on the left  and her mom (my gramma) Lizzie Hesch.  The kid on the ladder was probably Charlie and Elizabeth's adopted son William, who would have been 5 that summer.  (Yay! This is more than my mom OR dad knew about this picture ☺)
