Kind of blue

Tricia Byers Roghair sent in this stately photo of her mom at 16 years old in a blue bonnet in 1964. From the photo we can gather that she knew how to pull off a hat like nobody's business. But there's more to Tricia's mom than fashion savvy.

Here are few things, via Tricia, you should know about her mom Patricia Diane Faucett Byers:

- She was married at 17 , the summer between her junior and senior years. Although she was not expecting a baby, she was not allowed to walk in the ceremony for highschool graduation.

-Today, in spite of her diabetes, she entertains many through her home and welcomes many in need.
