Our Tall Cousin Updated

This is a photograph of Kae Einfeldt who was not only an artist for Walt Disney, but more than 6 feet tall. I'd run across this photograph earlier, but at the time I didn't know who Kae Einfeldt was. It's part of a collection that probably was in the assortment from Cindy, some of which Laura and others had collected. From the left in the photograph is Roy Sumner, Kae's Dad, Kae, Homer Sharpe, Ada Fraser Sumner, Kae's mother and Sherrill, Kae's daughter.  My best guess is that the picture was taken by Homer's wife, Avis. The family connection is Homer is the son of James Sharpe, Ada the daughter of Roseanne Sharpe and Edna, the daughter of Betsy Sharpe. That makes them all first cousins. Homer and Avis traveled to England in the 1960s and visited the Sharpe homestead, the Royal Oak Pub in Mareham-le-Fen.
