Family photo. This is my brother James Hann. I don't remember him ever looking like this. He sort of looks like a member of a 70's band. At the time he was making snow and felt the need to be armed. This is not code. He was actually making snow at a ski resort in Vernon, New Jersey. Were people stealing snow? I will have to ask him.


Again from family photos. This photo was taken in 1945 in front of the New Milford Methodist Church. Read left to right, front row: Grandmother Ella Hann, Aunt Louise Card, Ann Hann and me. Anyone know anyone else, let me know.
