Also On August 19th…
Today would have been the 100th birthday of my father’s father, unless I’ve had his year of birth wrong for all the years.
It would also have been my brother’s 33rd anniversary with his first wife, who knocked him up just before he turned 18, had they stayed married, but we don’t need to talk about that.
If I recall correctly, my grandfather was 84 when he died. I keep thinking he was 86, but that can’t be because of where I lived at the time. In any event, here are a couple of pictures. In the first one, he’s in the middle, with guys he worked with, probably on a farm. In the second one, he’s in my uncle’s van at an Ellis family reunion at Green Provicial Park in Prince Edward Island, Canada.
