I love this photo of Uncle Al and Inky from August of 1956. The viewer of the photo immediately knows that Irma happened to look over and see Inky patiently waiting at Alan's side while he ate, knowing what Inky was thinking and grabbed her camera to snap a photo of it. A bold, bright day over 65 years ago during a time that is long since passed, in a home that now looks nothing like this, sat a nine year old boy and the family's beloved dog, and a mother moved to capture this small moment. I love, love, love, that years and years later, she remembered the occasion and wrote the message on the back of the photograph for me to see and read.

What a great camera I had!
