JWE with Grandma & Grandad E 1928

On his sixth birthday.

Is Dad an imp or what? He looks to be on the verge of taking off.


I think the dog is saying throw the stick, throw the stick. You will note that Grandad has a hand on the stick and his shoulder. Steady James, just stand still for a minute.

JWE with his Grandmother E


Here is JWE with his grandmother, my great grandmother. I don't think he's a year old yet so this is probably 1922.

JWE at 15 months 1923


This is the good life. I believe that is JWE's grandmother E on the porch.

Did you ever know this man when he didn't have a dog? Almost every photo of his childhood has a dog in it. Grandma E's photo of him that she kept on her dresser was of him as a young adult with his dog Bob. We always had a dog growing up. Probably the only time he didn't have one was the time between leaving the farm and when we got our first family dog, Rusty.
