I can't help it, I can't do a wordless post! This is one of my favorite photographs: This photograph was taken in late 1943 (Christmas time?) or early 1944. The giggling baby (only 2-3 months old) is your scribe, and that is my father, Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983) lovingly holding me and beaming at me. This is before he joined the U.S. Navy during World War II and served on the U.S.S. Halford as a Mailman 3rd Class. I think that the setting is on the side of my grandparents home at 2130 Fern Street in San Diego. My grandfather, Lyle L. Carringer, probably snapped this as a black and white photo.
