This is Luther, my mom Edith and gramma Nora’s brother, Uncle Clifton. My mom was 5’ 8” so it is clear that my grampa was a pretty tall guy. Another sad point in this photo is the prevalence of smoking. During the depression years he was under considerable stress financially and struggled hard to feed and clothe and house his family. There is an apochryphal tale of his having decided to commit a robbery during one of the darkest periods. Good sense and Christian morals prevailed.
