| Early Family Pictures |
| These pix were developed from negatives found in Dad's things shortly after his death. I took them back to Columbus and had them developed. Judging from John's and Ellen's ages, these must date from the early 1940s. |

| John, I preseume. |
 |
| And that must be Ellen in Mom's arms. |
 |
| Taken by someone who couldn't frame. |
 |
| Isn't she cute? |

 |
| I like to think these were shot in the order shown. The negative on the right was damaged, and I repaired it electronically as best I could, but John's face still looks a little wierd. His expression, however, is unaltered. |
| GRANDPARENTS |
| Ellen showed this to me during a recent trip to Chicago. It's a shot of both sets of grandparents, taken at our parents' wedding in 1939. From left to right: Frank (Bompa) and Josephine (Nana) Wall, my father's mother (John, Bob, help me out - what was her first name?) and John T. Brusky. I was so taken with this shot that I took it back to Columbus and scanned it. Here it is. |

| Then, as now, the only beautiful one of the four! |
