Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- A Favorite Photo of Your Father

It's Saturday Night -

Time For More Genealogy Fun!


Our mission from Randy Seaver of Genea-Musing is to:

A)  Do you have a favorite photograph of your father?

B)  Please share it in your own blog post, in a comment to this post, or in a Facebook post.

Here's mine:

Here is a photo of my father, William Joseph Hork. This photo has so much character. I love his smile and the way his hands are on his hips. He looks about thirteen or fourteen. Most likely the photo was taken in Napa where they were living in 1944 or 1945.

Look at the style! Rolled-up blue jeans.

I looked on Google Maps on street view for the address in Napa where they lived: 1259 Eggleston. The house across the street is gone and an apartment is in its place. I also looked at 554 Randolph Street in Pomona, where his aunt, Loretta Patterson lived. There, a new modern house stands.
