Brother Jack

Mom's brother, Jack had some nice reminiscences and touching sentiments. (click to view larger)
I thought I'd found gold when I came across the two vintage photos of Uncle in his earlier years. I love these of him at age 5 in Huntley NE, and at age 17 in Denver on the day of his sister Janice's wedding. Such a cute little boy and handsome teenager! (That is one of the nice things about the genes of this side of the family: the men age well! Grandpa Harley was a handsome man until the day he left us!)
It's interesting to get a mental snapshot of what life's moments were like from the people who lived those earlier times, as Uncle Jack described here. Family Treasure for our children is the appreciation that we can try to teach them of their history--their family stories. Thanks Uncle Jack!
