Title: Palm Sunday - 1946 -- Photo Of Me & A Friend
Post by: Henry on April 08, 2007, 07:27:12 AM
Hi All,

As we get a little older it is wonderful to look back on the old days, however, I am sure none of us would want to go back and live in those times and forego all of the conveniences we have today.  Many of us have pets that we thought a great deal of and hopefully you got a chance to take a few pictures way back then.  Below is a photo of me taken back on April 14, 1946 which happened to be Palm Sunday that year:

Now I was going to guess around that timeframe when I looked at the photo in the album, however when I took it out of the album to scan, in what looks like my mother's handwriting on the back was the following:

Now my mother had a 4th grade education from a French Convent in Clarenceville, PQ, Canada and I looked at the word "Nussaince" which was the lamb's name and thought, she sure did a good job spelling his name as I don't know how to spell the word.  Actually, not sure there is such a word.  Just goes to show you how important it is to identify photos so that 61 years later they can easily be identified.

I will have some more lamb photos to put up within the next few days that I took right here in town on Saturday that I would like to share with you, but meanwhile, you all have a Happy Easter[/b]
