This is a wonderful photo. Herman (who my mother called "Coley" for some reason unknown to me)was one of my mother's many nephews - but was a favorite of hers. She kept a number of letters tied in ribbon that he had sent her prior to being lost in action. Herman and I are first cousins, though he was old enough to be my dad.

This is the first time I have seen this particular photo of my Uncle Leonard with his first wife and two sons. I have several photos of Maurice and Herman as young children in the photo collection which belonged to their grandmother, Parlee Taylor Leffew.
