(Not-So-) Wordless Wednesday: Dad and Nana, April/May, 1952, Rogers Park, Chicago, Illinois


This photo was taken on the front entry of 2093 W. Lunt Avenue in Chicago in either late April or early May, 1952, when my dad was visiting home after his commissioning as a Second Lieutenant in the Air Force on April 11, after completion of navigator training at Ellington Air Force Base in Houston, en route to reporting on May 14 for B-26 bombardment training at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia.

Standing are my dad, Frederick Henry Pape (1929-2017), and his mother, my grandmother Elizabeth Florence Massmann Pape (1902-2000).

This image is from a recently-found Kodachrome slide.
