Check out that hair! One of the first pictures he sent home to Leona.
He really was just a kid - 21 years old when this picture was taken
Winters are cold in Adak!
Do you think he knows how to use that?
Cleaning duty
Looking a little more grown up. . .
We all love a man in uniform - especially this one!

Lou was never involved in any combat. There were still a few Japanese hiding around Adak. The main trouble they had with them was when they would try to sneak into the chow lines. You could imagine the shock it was to receive these pictures. I thought they were so funny. Lynn's observation that his hair was 'a crew cut gone bad' was so true. I never even thought of that sixty four years ago. He certainly didn't look the guy I sent away. Leona

A very amateur family historian and genealogist. Hopefully my passion for the subject will make up for my lack of skill and training. Enjoy my work in progress!
