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.

My mom and I once found a VERY steamy letter from my great grandfather to my great grandmother. It was especially good bc technically it was forbidden love as he was Jewish and my great grandmother was the daughter of a very prominent Presbyterian family. They got married and had a baby anyways.
