Topic: Check this out!

Yesterday I was at my fathers and he gave me lots of picture albums. Last night I wept looking through them. I was thinking - no wonder my dad doesn't want them. He would be so sad looking through them. But, I'll keep them in case he changes his mind. Here are my parents in 1949 - I took a pic of a pic - sorry about the glare! But you can see how happy they were...

Isn't it nice that I can keep this frozen image on my parents before I even knew them? :) Love you! Kat

Hey Kat, The pic is so 40's ......They are a great looking couple. When I first saw it, I thought it was a pic of CC when he was younger.......Your Dad could pass for his twin. They say everyone has a twin somewhere in the world and your Dad is Calvin's.......Love to you, Niece Kat

Your mom was beautiful, Kat. I think you look like her from a picture you posted. Did she have a good singing voice?

Are those curtains behind them?

Thank you Toader! I think they are curtains! No, mom couldn't sing. LOL! But her father was an opera singer!! Kat

Neat!  I love B&W photos.  Your folks are such a dashing couple!  I don't usually call anyone dashing...but that comes to mind when I see them.  Way cool.  Check out the background wallpaper!  Be sure to get as many people in the photos ID'd as you can.  My dad & I sat down with his military pics once and he ID'd the people, I wrote on the backs and heard so many stories from him.  I know he loved telling me his stories with a photo to remind him.  ~AV~
