Sentimental Sunday: Nana and Grandpa (and Bud and Betty), April 1953

My grandparents, Elizabeth Florence Massmann Pape (1902-2000) and Paul Robert Pape Sr. (1896-1970) in April 1953 on the front steps of their home at 2093 West Lunt Avenue in Chicago, Illinois.

Below is the Kodachrome slide the image above was cropped from.  It was found in the study of my late father, Frederick Henry Pape (1929-2017), who probably took the photo when he was home on leave from the Air Force, enroute from Korea to Ellington Air Force Base in Houston, Texas.  Check out the folks in the upper right corner.

That's my uncle and aunt, Frank James "Bud" Streff Sr. (1925-2014) and Dad's older sister Elizabeth "Betty" Mary Pape Streff  (1927-2017).  Looks like she is feeding him something.
