Sentimental Sunday: Dad and Buddy, ABT 1954

Last year, while cleaning out the study of my late father, Frederick Henry Pape (1929-2017), I found a paper bag containing a number of Kodachrome slides from the early and mid-1950s, taken during his time in Korea and also in Chicago and Evanston, Illinois.  Kodachrome is extremely stable, and the color on these slides is near pristine. I'll be sharing more of the images in the future.

This picture (cropped and enlarged above, the original is below) is of Dad and his nephew, my first cousin Frank James "Bud" Streff Jr., son of Dad's sister Elizabeth "Betty" Mary Streff (1927-2017) and Frank James "Bud" Streff Sr. (1925-2014).   I think it might have been taken in June 1954, when my parents (at that point engaged) were in Chicago for the wedding of Dad's and Betty's older brother, Paul Robert "Bob" Pape Jr. (1926-2008) and Dolores "Lorrie" Frances Olker (1929-2005).
