My Pops, as a kid.
Happy birthday to my dad (or, as Matty refers to him, “Sweet Lou”). This photo here was taken at a Knights of Columbus picnic in Buffalo when he was a kid. It also seems to be one of the first photos where he has dark hair (prior to this, his hair was blond — but it changed after he was sick with scarlet fever).
The mustache came many years later.
Happy birthday, pops!
