Jean Audrey Carter with first husband James Hickey

I suspect this was before they were actually married, but this picture shows my Mom, Jean Audrey Carter, on a downhill skiing "date" with the man who (later?) became her first husband, James Hickey. Their short marriage yielded my brother, John William Hickey, who was born in 1941. It was short because James Hickey was killed some time during World War II flying in figher planes over France. That's why my brother is "Hickey" but I'm "Pammett"; or maybe it's why I am "Pammett", not "Hickey"! When Mom and Johnny came to visit us in France in the mid 1980s, they made a side-trip to the place in France where Johnny's father was buried during the war.
