I mentioned in another thread that I inherited most of my grandfather's stuff in an old tote bag of his. His show has become my treasure, and most of it is from the Golden Era. I don't have all of it scanned, but I thought I'd share what I do have scanned thus far.

Part I: 1934-1944

My grandpa's Confirmation - dated May 1934 (he was 14):

My grandpa with his sister, 1930s:

A family photo, mid-late 1930s (my aunt's communion - she was born in December 1924 so you do the math). My grandpa is the male standing on the left:

My grandfather's Army years (1939-1945). The first portrait, of him standing, I've lost:
