Gramps Was A Clown (Too)

Check out this pic my Aunt gave me over the weekend. It is a real picture taken during the depression. Circa 1937-1938 is the estimated date. It looks like a character from a Groucho Marx movie, doesn't it?








That guy is my Grandfather. I never met him. He died when I was about 10 months old.

They tell me he was a clown. He loved to make people laugh. This pic is a little proof of that. They also tell me I came by those traits honestly. I had to get them from him.

The little girl just over his shoulder with the light colored dress and dark bow/ribbon thing is my aunt. She is now 76 years old.

I love these old pictures. Too bad Gramps got sick. I think he and I would have gotten along just fine.
