I don't have a date for when this photo was taken, but my best guess lies around the year 1942. At this time, my father lived in the Norfolk, VA, or Baltimore, MD. I came across this picture when I sorted through his things after he passed, and I never even knew it existed. I think he's probably about three years old in this picture. And not a terribly happy camper!
For my first Sepia Saturday (#sepiasaturday), I thought I'd give you one of my favorite photos of all time: my paternal grandparents, Frank and Ava Lee Stafford. I'll be going into more detail about them later, but they had a huge impact on my life, and I love them dearly.
I would guess this photo was taken in the 1930s. They look young, happy, and excited about what the future could hold.
