(Almost-) Wordless Wednesday: Happy Birthday to My Dad (tomorrow)!


My Dad, Frederick Henry Pape, about 1934, around age 5.  Dad says the man in the background is his uncle on his mother's side, Alfred ("Al") John Massmann (1901-1964).  Not sure who the other child is - it might be his first cousin Jean Ann Massmann McKay (1929-2001), Al's daughter who was about nine months younger than Dad.

ETA 4 Feb 2022 - I believe the man in the background is actually Charles (Carl) Joseph Julius Bleidt Jr. (1870-1959), husband of Dad's aunt Martha Elisabeth Pape Bleidt (1890-1981).  The other child in the picture is probably Dad's first cousin (and son of Charles and Martha) John Charles "Jack" Bleidt (1929-1973).
