Hi all. I found this website through google, and have read a few of the threads.
My father found some photos in my grandfather's foot locker after he passed. They are the original photos given out during the home tour.
Unfortunately, these were not found until after he passed, (and after Trudy's book was published) so we have no way of knowing how he knew the family. My father speculates that maybe he was the boyfriend, but we have no real way of knowing.
What is very interesting though, is at the end of the photo book is a picture of my young grandfather with a young man who resembles the oldest son. ! sure wish ! had found these before Pap passed...
Anyway, I am thinking of selling them because we are close to personal bankruptcy and my dad gave the pictures to me and said that I could sell them if I wanted to. 1 really hate to do it, but I don't know what else to do with them. I was thinking of listing them on ebay.
What do you all think? The photos are in great shape, and are in a small photo book.

Hi Samantha,
I noticed that your grandfather was only 4 months older than Arthur Lawson. They might very well have known| each other an/or were friends. If so, he may even have attended Arthur's funeral.

Hello, Miss Samantha, and welcome to the online family! This sounds spectacular. So, Maria, are you angling for these
for the... sigh... scrapbook?
