| Shoes, above, are my Dad's Navy shoes. He'd worn one pair (on the right in the photos above) since being reissued shoes after he lost his in the sinking of CVE-21 Block Island on May 29, 1944, over 60 years ago. He bought the other pair, Navy-issue, in the 1950s and worn them to stand long hours during his barbering career. He finally decided that, maybe, he should toss them out. I had to photograph them first. Dad wears small men's shoes, size 7 1/2. |
Max and Carol were photographed in their home by
Marilya Veteto Reese, visiting from Flagstaff, AZ, in January 2009. |
