The boys are dressed in overalls that match the ones in pic #145 of the By Gone Days book, and the boys look about the same age. Grandma Grace wrote, "A friend of Pauls who took pictures wanted their picture. Paul traded him a gun he had for the pictures. We had no money for such things. This was a good trade. Aunt Mina bought the overalls. I made the shirts.""

This is pic #79 from the By Gone Days book: "This is V.J. Day. LeRoy pounds a tin can. Raymond shakes rocks in a can. Mary smiles. Darleen Hall blows a whistle, and another of Mary's friends waves a flag."

This is pic #98 in the By Gone Days book: This shows three little boys, and our new puppy which Aunt Rita bought for the boys on one of our first auctions."

If folks have other audio or video they'd like to share, I'd be happy to host it.

One of my mother’s nomadic brothers. Life in Alaska and Samoa seemed exotic and adventurous to me.
A favorite Christmas recording is LeRoy reciting The Revolving Christmas Tree. Taken from a tape sent from Alaska for Christmas 1982, I play it every year.
From the time I could understand such things, I admired that he always seemed in love with his wife and children.
One of my treasures is LeRoy’s State House District 9-A poster from an Alaska election. It hangs on the door in my shop where I see it often.
Though we are many, I always thought of him as THE family Democrat.
I always envied his deep baritone voice.
Favorite memories include a 4th of July recitations, including one with cousin Ed Schultz, and harmonica music.
Having learned the depths of his interests, I’m amazed I only recently learned of his love for pewter and blow torches.
Carol recently referred to LeRoy as larger than life. He was always this to me.
