Hit a local yard sale that listed local photos for sale and thought it would be great to See if I could find any of the parks before things changed to present day.
The gentleman had photos in 3-ring binders and had them sorted by category, ie. Downtown, parks, schools, businesses, you get the picture (no pun intended). Anyways, I seen the one of businesses and thought I would take a look at what was before my life began.
This gentleman that had the photo's also had the names of the businesses as well as names of most people who were in them. My mouth fell open and an "Oh My God" flew out of my mouth, which created reaction from a few other salers who asked me what it was. I couldn't believe that I had found a pic. with my grandfather in it from 1943.
How cool is that?
Cost of the photo, a whopping 25 cents.
This find kinda got me a bit teary eyed as it was and probably is the greatest find I have made in a long time.
