A photo in Minneapolis sometime around 1975. About 20 years later.
He's been gone now nearly 39 years. I still remember his birthday, but there's nowhere to send a card. This is as good as I can do in that area. Happy birthday to the old guy.

It's his birthday again. 106.
My dad in Coleraine in about 1955. Dating these pictures any more accurately than that is beyond me today. I think the trike behind him belonged to Mr. Moohoo. The bulge in his shirt pocket was probably a pack of Raleigh's, his eventual undoing.

I'd date that first photo a little earlier, I think. Two clues -- he's "almost" smiling, and he looked awfully grim by trike riding season in 1955. Also, GZ was 8 in 1955 -- too old for a trike. Definitely Coleraine, so it's an early 50's photo for sure. 1952 or '53 is my guess.
Nice post. He'd appreciate the thoughts, for sure.
I think your date estimates are pretty good. I don't know the occasion. I don't seem to have any others from the same day.
