Pictures from negatives

My mother had these two negatives in our family album for as long as I can remember. I decided to see who the people were in these pictures that my mom saved for all those years. Here they are.

I have zoomed in on this and it looks like Uncle Red. Imagine climbing a Saguaro!

In this picture, I recognize Uncle Floyd with his arm around a woman that may be Kay, his wife in her younger years but I have never seen a picture of her at that age. The other woman with her arm around Floyd's neck looks like Aunt Edna, grandma's sister. I am pretty sure Aunt Tootie is second from the right and maybe that is her cousin Blenna with her. Some of the little girls may be Edna's. If you can recognize anyone please let me know. ~Betsy
