I hope all is well, despite the sadness of your mother's illness.<br /><br />My grandfather was so good to me and I adored him, but I must acknowledge that he too was very bigoted. He was a NYC cop, so he saw the worst of people, but that really is no excuse. He was so conservative he believed FDR was Satan incarnate. He refused to refer to the FDR Drive in New York. He called it the East Side Drive. lol He gave some people some mighty confusing directions considering there is no such road. lol<br /><br />It is definitely hard to reconcile their hateful rhetoric with the person we love.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10106720865034468249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133147170181934597.post-32054291131188029732011-01-09T12:50:45.539-05:002011-01-09T12:50:45.539-05:00Granny - Maybe a generational thing for white men....Granny - Maybe a generational thing for white men.

As odd as it might sound, a lot of my best qualities come from him.<br /><br />Laurent - Thanks! I'll post some more of my favorites, and here's a link to my set of them on flickr.<br /><br />Jason - I love that one too!

After my brother married a Chinese-American woman, my grandfather took me aside and said "Your brother got away from us, but I want to you marry a white man." <br /><br />Will - Can't wait to see what you find! Yes, this Fall has been pretty rough. But I've thought of and missed you all and will try and be better about staying in touch. xoxo<br /><br />David - Thanks and I'm hoping this prodigal blogger can be more cyber-active in 2011. And as for those photos of lovely men, well let's just say that you're seeing my tastes in this selection. Oddly, I found I was much less interested in the photos of pretty senoritas.... (blush).<br /><br />retro goddess - Thanks so much and glad you like them!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11889294120616809157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133147170181934597.post-45585223645472818392011-01-07T08:04:50.871-05:002011-01-07T08:04:50.871-05:00What a wonderful find - these photos are amazing!!...What a wonderful find - these photos are amazing!!!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15610142799052309329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133147170181934597.post-16085917040198251082011-01-07T05:13:09.994-05:002011-01-07T05:13:09.994-05:00Welcome back!

And just last night at dinner a group of us where talking about old family photos and their importance in telling us about the people around us. And then this morning - eccola! Your fascinating post.<br /><br />In a few words you've captured the essence of a man and paid a worthy tribute to him. <br /><br />As my friend David said - we need more from you. I know its been a hard year and you know that I am wishing you, your Prof and the girls all good things in 2011.Willymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03652532356102638621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133147170181934597.post-67643763635127741342011-01-07T02:16:32.014-05:002011-01-07T02:16:32.014-05:00Well you know I'm from Mississippi...but for t...Well you know I'm from Mississippi...but for the most part my family is very easy going and tolerant.<br /><br />Love the pictures,<br /><br />My mother gave me a huge folder of all of my childhood photos for Christmas.<br /><br />Peace and LoveayeM8yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07258615853099164514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133147170181934597.post-28895478094411301782011-01-07T01:51:16.854-05:002011-01-07T01:51:16.854-05:00I love those photos and I love you.
