Old Family Photos

I love looking at old photographs, from the early days of the camera. Can't say I have any of those--oh, except a copy of one photo each of my maternal great grandparents when they were very young--but last week Dad emailed me scanned-in versions of a couple of 1956 pics a friend of his had. I've seen very few photos of Dad as a teenager, so these were great. I keep telling him to go through his albums and start scanning in pictures to email me, but as he still works (substitute teaches in his post-retirement years), he really doesn't have the time. Or the inclination, I think. Maybe he ought to bring just one album when he visits in the fall, and I'll scan them in!

Dad on the right, perched on the post. Pic taken in August 1956, so he'd have been 16, about 2 months shy of his 17th birthday.

Left to right: Dad in the background, the friend's father, Dad's father, and the younger boy is Dad's brother, Peter, we think. September 1956 out at Lac Long, in Quebec.
