What beautiful parents. I was raised just outside of Detroit. In 1949 it was a lovely city. Your father's hat is classic 40s. Very nice -- barbara

well as they say..the old gray mare, she ain't what she used to be. I remember those wooden fence posts before the cyclone came and oddly enough that house in the back ground was a typical two family or even a single family home in Detroit.

It's a different place now as the lights go out, one can actually see star constellations that were no visible ten years ago.

Always fun to have a look in a family album every now and then.

Ditto Stefan. Where is, or was, that house, what major crossroads?

My father looked the same way, long coat with hat and a suit. Your mother is a very stylish pretty woman.

Cute baby! And stylish couple.

Their expressions are such a story. Your mom looks, ambivalent, maybe?

Ah, yes. One is steeped in the joy of family photos with this one. It's good for the soul to partake of such memories.
