This is the graduation photo (1919) for my grandfather, James Edward McIntosh, Divinity Student, Edinburgh, Scotland. He became a Presbyterian Minister, first in Canonbie, and then in Dumfries, Scotland. I wish I had known him. Mom has said that he was tremendously funny. She found it difficult on Sunday mornings to sing the hymns (she was in the choir) because earlier, my grandfather would have been walking up and down the upstairs hall singing parodies of them while shaving (with a cut-throat razor, no less).
