Photograph of My Parents

[Subdeacon Joe 24,697]

I ran across this photo.  Took a close look at the shoulder patch.  Looks like a FMF Pac Artillery patch.
Photo taken 1945, 3 East Railroad Street, Nesquehoning, PA

Pretty lady.

Good looking folks, Joe...what happened to you? 

 

 

Sorry, couldn’t help myself.

She was that.  Would have been 98 yesterday.  She reposed in the Lord in December of 1980.

Great looking couple, Joe.  I'm sure you're proud of that photograph.

As a matter of fact, I think this should be made a sticky thread.  We could all post old photos of our parents and grandparents.  It would be a nice way to honor them, and we could all see where the other members came from.

My older brothers got all the good looks!

Yes, you could have. But that would take all the fun out.

When I look at some of the photos of Dad on Guam I'm struck by how much my eldest brother favors him.  I take more after my maternal grandfather.

I agree, Joe, as well.
