Good looks obviously run in your family.

Considering the times, your family must have made a comfortable living. That's a nice suit your Grandpa is wearing.

All Gussied up, too, a handsome lad!

Is that your Dad's Dad?

that's an interesting picture on a lot of levels. he's not looking at the camera. quite pensive, actually. his foot is buried in the snow. imagine that was quite damp and cold, since he's likely wearing dress shoes. and then the description just scrawled carelssly across the corner...

COOL picture-- i love old photos.
he's tall, no? looks lanky like you.

It seems like he was often looking downward in his pictures, but maybe it just seems like he was.

I think he was tall for his generation.

Yeah. A Dane. Both of grandpa's parents came here from Denmark.

I added a second picture, and here are his parents:

Comfortable for farmers, maybe. I wonder if his mother sewed the suit. I was curious about the suit.

My Dad's Mom's folks came here from Denmark: Nils Dinsen and his wife Marie Holst. I'll try to pu up a photo for you.

I like looking at family photos.

I forgot to say....what a mustache!! I imagine it got wet a lot when he ate and drank?

I like seeing those. I believe that the family resemblance in your faces carries thru the generations.
