The Jay Marlo Story In Pictures



















This is the story of Jay Marlo States as seen in pictures. Jay is my newphew, the son of my sister, Muriel and Jack States. Jay was born in Halifax on June 23, 1971.

At the lower left, there's my son John David and Jay Marlo who wants to play with John David's car, December, 1971. Jay was 6 months old and John-David was 4.

At the lower right we see Lori Anne, my niece, and the daughter of my sister, Juanita and Donald Seale and Jay Marlo, our hero, at 3309 during a family Christmas gathering December 1973. Lori Anne was 6 years old and Jay Marlo was 2. Please note that this Christmas tree was the one that Mom didn't like and I can't say I blame her. It's a sad tree.

At the top left there's Torrin, son of Jay Marlo and Robyn States. Finally, there's Jay Marlo himself, deep in thought as he always is. He was 6 months old at the time. Torrin was born on June 29, 2005. At the time of this photo Torrin was nearly 5 months old.

Congratulations Jay and Robyn!!

As always, Well wishes,

F Stanley Boyd
