Portraits of Someone Special

Rika Manabe February 5, 2015

This is Grandma Alger.  My husband's grandmother.  She is absolutely amazing and charming.  She is one of the most interesting figures in my life.  I often think about her stories during the World War II in Japan, where she was stationed alongside her husband.  Her stories, memories and photographs are now personal to me too.  I love how she talks like in the old Hollywood movies, with her husky voice.  She is classy, elegant, fashionable, opinionated and very much independent.  I appreciate her way, even though it can be challenging to deal with at times.  She is a lady, a true legend.  Every time I see her - which isn't often as we live in different states - I have to take a portrait of her.  She is just one of those people.  Love to you, G.A.!
