my pops

I have very few photos of my Dad as a young man. This picture, taken of him while he was a young army soldier at Fort Bragg, around the age of 18 (1944). It's actually a cropped version of a picture of he and a few soldier buddies going for a horse ride. I'll have to see if I can find the whole version again, and post that. I know Mom has a copy of it.

Crazy to think of him with a full head of hair. As I only remember him with the classic bald head! He was a good looking kid. He seems so natural on a horse. It's no wonder why he loved them so much. Without him, my sister and I wouldn't have had such an interest in horses. Mom had a horse too, or course-of course, but Dad was more into it. Either way, I'm glad we had the opportunity to have horses.

Once I unpack my apartment, I'll upload a pic of my Mom in nursing school, and another of my Dad in uniform. Funky stuff to see them so young! :)
