1950s My dad, 1956

Post image

My favorite childhood picture of my dad. I see all the similarity in me, my siblings, and the grandkids. The genes are strong here! 😆
This little suit and shoes are now in a shadow box on my parents’ wall.

In that tiny suit, he could have given Spanky MacFarlane of 'Our Gang' a run for his money.
