First Row:  Osmo Petty (1915-1978), Opal Petty (1913-1992) , Thelma Cox Petty (1908-1994) (wife of Wallace), Wallace Petty (1910-2007), and Sarah Petty (1927-1999) (will become wife of Bill McLemore).

Behind Walt:  Probably Roy Petty (1921-2000).  But where is Leonard Petty (1924-2001)?  If that is Leonard, where is Roy?  Maybe the missing one is taking the picture.
