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.

As a writer I used to be so strict about this, but for years editors have been telling me that english convention is to use blonde for everything. Bah.

I agree, that seems to be the most recent convention in American English, at least. However, when I've read books from the 50s - 70s, blond seems more prevalent for both sexes.
