Dad in 1943

Besides his rank in the US Navy durring WWII Dad was the ships

photographer. This is a shot taken of him in 1943. The photos on the

wall was his 1st wife. Go Dad!

sepia added.

Robert, over the past few weeks I believe that I've seen a few of these scans come through and each of them is a treasure! I am really glad that you are doing this. Losing these images of such an incredible era in US history would be nearly a crime. I really can appreciate each one of these too, being a veteran of the Coast Guard (almost the Navy, LOL). Your Dad has a real Hemingwayesque pose here. Great job, and keep it up. Cheers! Chris

Chris,

 

Thanks for the comments. I agree. I have had these negitives for many years and am in the process of restoring them. I plan to post as many as possible. It's good to see this kind appreciation for an era that paved the way for the freedoms we enjoy today.

 

Thanks again,

 

Robert,
