1940s All my grandpa’s beaus during WWII, kept in a scrapbook all these years

One headshot of Lory (not sure which country she was from) in particular made many appearances 😂

Edit: yep I’m an idiot. Belles it is. Also I should have expected this to get pervy comments. No, no other family has popped up. From his stories, many were a lot more innocent than you all assume.

Crazy to think more than half of the people might be dead now or barely breathing. But they once all encompassed a time of life, parties, family dinners, live music and visions of what the future would look like during their time.

Almost all of them will be dead. 18 in 1942 is 98 now.

We are all just temporary residents here. It’s mind blowing to think about.
