These are portraits of Willabelle "Willie" and Riby Holmes, Fowlerville, Michigan, 1975.
They were longtime Fowlerville residents; they loved to square dance. "Willie" worked in several physician's offices in Fowlerville. Riby was a vocational agriculture education teacher at Fowlerville Public Schools.
Riby was also for many years the announcer at Fowlerville High School football games. He took some pride in the clarity of his enunciation both in classroom and sports events. Riby and Willie lived on Devonshire St several doors from Frank Curtis and Dr Higby.
