Grandpa Art

This is a picture of my grandfather, Arthur, whose packrat tendencies brought us the bounty of stuff that I have to display on Vintage Bug.

For those of you who don't know, my grandfather was a photographer for Naval Intelligence during World War II, and he worked as a photographer for the Associated Press in post-military life. I have boxes and boxes of photos, some taken by him and some taken by others, that range in subjects from blank-faced school children to fires, from World War II to Bing Crosby. I thought it was a shame to keep all these covered up in the basement, so I am going to post them here for everyone to see. Some are funny and cute, and some are quite gruesome, but all are part of American history.

Here's to you, Grandpa!
