My Trails into the Past

My father-in-law, George J. Gorrell (1915-2011), began losing his hair at a young age. From this photo, before he married Thelma Nilsen, we can see he was already thinning on the top. Over time, he lost more hair. To protect his balding head, George always wore a hat. In fact, it is difficult to find photos of him without one, if taken outdoors. The hats varied in style depending on where he was going or what he was doing. A rare outdoor photo sans hat #52Ancestors-Week 19: Bald This is my sixth year working on this year-long prompt, hosted by Amy Johnson Crow ( https://www.amyjohnsoncrow.com/ ) at Generations Cafe. I write each week in one of my two blogs, either  Mam-ma’s Southern Family  or  My Trails into the Past . I have enjoyed writing about my children’s ancestors in new and exciting ways.
