Anderson, Indiana - mid-1940's. This Kodachrome shows my father (Anton "Tony" Happel) with a basket of freshly picked peaches. From his appearance I'm guessing at the date (he graduated from high school in 1947 and he looks a bit younger than his senior photo in this image). The setting is the back yard of my grandparents' home. The peaches likely came from the fruit nursery that was across the street. The fruit grove was one of the reasons my Grandfather purchased that particular lot and built the house there in 1939/40. I think that this image was taken by my Aunt Lee (Dad's sister who was 10 years older than he). View full size.
