The gang's all here

This photo of Sparky's dad's family was taken in the 1930's. It's brilliant. Her dad is the little dude in the tie and sweater on the bottom row fourth from the left. That's his sister Delores sitting on the end of that row on the right. The guy in the back row wearing the hat holding the baby is Sparky's late paternal grandfather. The baby he's holding is her late Aunt Charlotte.

  1. I like back in the day, how almost all the boys have ties on for picture-taking... like it was a special event.

  5. Wonderful photo! It looks like something out of Carson McCullers. I especially like the crinkles and tears -- a well used photo. This is my thought: a whole universe inside each person there. Thanks for posting this.
