The First Time he Said Goodbye



This was taken of Dad and me the night before he left to fight in Korea. The label says it was in August, 1951.

    I agree; it does look like a Norman Rockwell. What a beautiful memory.

    Fr. Gregory took the words write out of my mouth. That is a wonderful, wonderful picture - especially the title you gave it.

    I am highly impressed by that photo. It DOES look like a Rockwell. Was it originally on Kodachrome? It looks like a Kodachrome.

    I thought it looked like a Rockwell too. Such a beautiful memory for sure. Reminds me of when my dad went to Bosnia - the first time he had ever been deployed any where (certainly not the last).
