Another postcard picture that from my late husband's side of the family. I cannot be sure at all, but I think there is a strong resemblance between the young fellow in the middle of the above picture and my late husband, Ray, pictured with his mother below when he was 20 and she was 40. Am I seeing things wrong? Ray lost his father when he was 12 years old and he had no siblings, but both his dad and mom came from fairly large families so he had lots of aunts, uncles and cousins.
So if I am right, this would go along with the father-in-law day celebration that I had not heard of before. And if I am wrong, no harm done and it's still a fun postcard.
The back of the card. Thanks to Beth at http://thebestheartsarecrunchy.blogspot.com/for hosting. Happy PFF to all.
I think you are right about the resemblance.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful real photo postcards! Love the pose in the first one!
ReplyDeleteI don't see the resemblance, but I believe those who do! Interesting.
ReplyDeleteThey've been framed...for posterity. :)
ReplyDeleteActually I would have said the one on the left was more like him, but you know your husband's face better than just a picture. I love the pose in the postcard!
ReplyDeleteYou have the best archive of family photos! I can see the similarities in the angular features of the two men.
ReplyDeleteHave you loked at the pin he is wearing on his lapel with a loupe? It would be interesting to know if the pin can be identified. Wonderful RP!
ReplyDeleteI just acquired one with a name, date and location listed on the message side. It's really great when these little windows to the past can be identified as to people and places that we'd otherwise just be guessing at.
I think you're correct. It does look like him. All the landmarks fit, even if he's pictured from a slight angle in the first instead of face-on.
