I saw that this was taken (or processed) at Leiter Camera Shop in San Jose. Looked it up and not surprisingly, there is no more Leiter Camera. BUT, there is a Leiter's Pharmacy. It would be interesting to find out if there is a connection.

That photo would have probably been taken in the early '40's I believe? What's really interesting to me about this photo (other than seeing her young of course), is that I can see that same look in her eyes as when she was older. A little bit of sadness or pain, even though she's smiling.
