I thought I'd share this old family photo.

On the right is my Great Grandpa Walden. On the left is my great grand uncle from the other side of the family.

Fascinating. Approximately when does that photo date from?
May the joy of music be ever thine.

Notice they are NOT carrying firearms which dispels the myth that everyone in the Old West went about armed to the teeth looking for gunfights.

Great photos Walden.

Are you sure the guy on the left side of the picture isn't Michael J. Fox?

I imagine there's an ocarina tucked into a jacket pocket of the kid on the left.

Yeah, that's Uncle Albert. There's an unmistakeable family resemblance between him and a good many of the family who are still living.

Remarkable memento of a bygone era.
Excellent condition for its age.

Slan,
D.
And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.
