Hey everyone, I was just uploading some picts of Branndon and I when I came across an old one of my grandpa. It was taken in Long Beach, California in 1935. I just wanted to share it because I thought some of you would appreciate it. He worked as a ship mechanic and was in Pearl Harbor. Luckily he was called back to Long Beach before Pearl Harbor was hit, I think it happened while he was on the ship on the way to Long Beach.

He's in the second row, 6th from the left, in case you were curious.

I don't think he ever saw any action in WWII, he mostly fixed the ships out here in Long Beach, California as a mechanic. He's starting to forget things so it's hard to get any new information. He just turned 91 last month.

Cool pic. Anyone notice that the only one smiling is the guy on the bottom row with the rifle?

Oh heck I missed that guy. I thought they were always supposed to look mean and nasty in those photos.
