I started rummaging around in the electronic files for something unrelated and found this one that I scanned in a long time ago. This was our family in late 1944. Mom, Dad and my brother, Bill, were standing on Fifth Street, near Locust Avenue in Long Beach, CA. Mom is holding me at age 1 plus something. Behind us is the First Christian Church, which has since been demolished and is now a shopping mall.
Dad was home on leave from WWII which was still in progress. He is wearing the uniform of a Warrant Officer in the US Navy. I wrote about some of Dad’s WWII service in another post a while back.
