This picture was taken circa 1940.
That's my great-grandpa Owen on the far left. My grandpa John is right next to him cracking up, and his two brothers are next to him, Ken and Newt.
I love this picture SO MUCH! Even though my grandpa Owen has, what looks like, a solemn look on his face, it's actually a "I'm a proud dad and look at my three handsome sons next to me". He LOVED his children SO incredibly much! And you can tell his three sons are having the time of their lives.
I'm still researching, by talking to family, as to why the picture was taken. Even if I don't find out, I still love it.
And what a better picture to represent the 1940's, eh? Four men in suits, hats and smoking cigars!
Nothing says love better than family being together enjoying themselves.

Stacie...I do want to have the picture framed! I need to take it somewhere though and see how big I can blow it up, since the original is barely a 3 x 5. :)
