A surprise

RealityChuck Aug 16 2013 08:33 PM

I was perusing this page, which showed up on my Facebook feed. It shows some colorized versions of historic b&w photographs. Not a bad job, either. Then I came upon this one (#8): The guy on the left is my grandfather. :)

That's relatively cool.

You'll have to explain why your grandfather was sitting on a rock with Albert Einstein!

I've seen that picture plenty of times and always wondered who was that white-haired guy sitting next to Chuck's grandfather.

So was it your gramps sold him those lady sandals? Great pic & story, too.

That really is great. My grandfather was a barber, so there's little chance that he would have ever met Einstein. Oh well.

Never thought of Einstein as a shorts and suntan kind of guy...that is a cool picture Chuck

Caption: Well, let me tell you David ... first off I wouldn't be caught dead in black shoes, white socks, and a brown suit. Cool pic, nice heirloom.
