Thanks, Chris. They survived, and went on to become a very close-knit
family. Herb ended up as mayor of my small home town in Mississippi.

Recent discussions of older photos led me to dig into some images I scanned quite a few
years ago, from a collection of negatives and prints we inherited from my wife's
grandmother. This sepia image is from the middle to late 1930s, when my wife's Dad
provided a meager income for his family by following the Midwest fairs and celebrations
with his portable studio, selling "4 for a Dime" direct positive portraits to
the fair visitors. The studio could be folded and carried on the trailer seen in the
background. Herb is posing holding on to the awning frame that could be covered in bad
weather.

Here is an actual-size copy of one of the seventy-year-old Direct-Positive
photos, which received no Photoshop treatment at all.
