OK, the long-awaited solution to the mystery pic, which you may need to go to my blog www.skegley.blogspot.com to follow, is now ... tada ! revealed-------
The answer- my four and a half year younger brother, George. (PHS 55)
It should have been a tough nut to solve, mainly because not many now living knew George at that age. My younger surviving siblings naturally would not and most of the readers, at least three who responded, couldn't possibly have recognized brother George, who turned 73 yesterday, March 7.
George and I have probably remained closer, because of closeness in age, of a very close family.
Things to make the mystery tougher:
George would not have been wearing a dress.
The black and white scan I originally sent did not reveal the red hair of the child. Most of us called George "Red". Sharon was the only other Kegley redhead.
George was born with a foot turned outwards, the left one as I remember. Several operations in Columbus eventually set him straight.
George and a few family members have stayed fairly warm in the Plant city area of Florida, whereas most of the rest of us 'enjoyed' record snow falls here in Ohio.
I guess this is just an inside story anyway, but Jeanie and I called George and Helen and I sang 'Happy Birthday" to him. He said he heard four such songs that day and he voted mine the worst.
Talk about respect?
Frank Hunter after searching for hints, guessed it was me. ( I hope it wasn't the dress).
Jim guessed Mary Lou, Sharon, and Cassandra (Sandy), but he had neither the color pic nor my hint to Frank that the dress did not reveal the sex of the mystery one.
Paul called and Jeanie told him the answer, but he had no guess.
'Ah, sweet mysteries of life' , but again one might say who cares? Except for me and my brother George. George may also disagree, as the red hair Mom, Mary, had combed across his forehead, was so like him at an age even he could not recall. George and I have a close resemblance in hair color now, the few remaining ones are grey, leaving our tops bald.
Our maternal grandfather, Abraham Clark, was bald and our dad, Forest E. Kegley, was bald. Forgive me my brothers, but aren't we all?
Please send George a belated birthday greeting at speck6085@aol.com if you are so inclined.

For Christian American readers of this blog:
I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.
The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!
A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:
"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."
Thanks Jack!
I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.
