I was at my mom and dads the other day and we were going through some old pictures and I came across a few photos of my dad and his sister from the early 40's and 50's. I posted them on Facebook in a family history album and had a ton of likes. My cousin thanked me for posting them because she had seen very few pictures of her mom growing up. I have decided to start posting old photos under family history a little more regularly. I really enjoyed the comments and the back and forth with my aunt . She was able to remember dates and where they lived at the time etc.
My dad, Chuck (or when he was little his mom called him Chuckie) grew up in MI with an older sister. He was almost called Fritz, but thanks to WWII and anti German sentiment at the time, a nice Anglo name it was. Charles.
I love these pictures.

| My grandparents (L and R) and Aunt G in the back of the sign. In 1958 they went to Sequoia National Park. I think my dad must have been taking this picture. |
I am going to try and post more family photos on a regular basis. I love throwbacks.
