George Kallman was not an only child, but for a few years in his life, before his sister Gladys came along, he was the single apple of his parent's eye.
I don't have any dates for any of these photos. You'll need to use last weeks Sepia Saturday post to put these in some sort of time frame. All we have are images to create a life for George and his family. That's where we'll be going for the next few weeks.
From these we learn George played the accordion which probably helps to explain his love for the polka.

This is my submission for the latest Sepia Saturday.

He's pretty cute. I have to reach up to that photo and button his vet though. I hope he doesn't mind.
ReplyDeleteI have often been tempted to specifically collect cards and photos of people playing the accordion, but I just haven't seen that many.
I only ever knew one person who took accordion lessons. It was a boy who lived across the street in Maryland in the 50s.
ReplyDeleteSomewhere in the hundred photos of the Kallman family I do have one more of George with his accordion.
Perhaps this year I'll actually go to this:

You have some great photos there, particularly like the first one.
ReplyDeleteThat accordion does bring back memories for me, a number of kids when I was young played them - and you see so few of them in this digitally enhanced age. As always, photographs that are so full of life.
ReplyDeleteMy father had a trike just like George's.
