This is one of my favorites of the photos that we found after my mother died, it is her as a baby, with her father, and that HAIR of his. I understand his hair was dark red when he was young, it was snow white in my memory, alway snow white. He did keep his hair (unlike my father's side of the family.) He had a full head of white hair, thick and curly when he died.
I look at the way his hair is cut, and think of some of the styles of the past 20 years, and think the more things change, the more they stay the same.
