I am remembering my father.

He died in 1989, on the fourth of July. All of the siblings - all 8 of us - were standing around his hospital bed. And there were fireworks going off outside. We could see them through the window.

So I just enlarged the photo to get a better look, and yikes! I just noticed the deer!

Your dad still looks awesome. (My dad is a hunter too).

Hi Valerie,
Thanks! We always thought it was strange that he was wearing a tie in this photo. (A tie, for hunting?) He grew up in the back woods of Maine, this must have been around 1940.
