My old man just after graduation from Annapolis, late 1942 or early 1943 I believe. He served as a deck officer in the Pacific. Never talked much about it.

Me and my sister at my grandparents house in 1978. And Buffy the dog, of course. My great uncle is on the dock fishing. The good times we spent there as a family in 'ol Pembroke, MA will never be equaled.
