I have looked at this photo multiple times and am always struck by the 'happy go lucky' attitude the young man seems to have. Now I realize why I keep coming back to it. The pose and smile and general demeanor have Gene Kelly and Singin' in the Rain playing in my old head bone. In Technicolor.

Junior looks a little squirrelly from breathing those factory fumes.

... there was such a thing as innocence in children above the age of six. What a happy (if a tad impish) smile this young man had, despite what must have been difficult economic circumstances. I hope he had a life as joyous as his countenance on this winter day.
