My Grandfather was from North Dakota and had a job traveling with the Carnival working in the Photography Booth. (Back when pictures were still taken in only Black and White no color) He met my grandmother when traveling on the road to Tennessee and they married not too long after. She thought he was the most handsome man and fell for him immediately (this was told to me by my grandma) they both starting taking pictures and also had pictures taken of them-they were gorgeous nice quality photos. I remember the pictures to this day and how happy and how gorgeous they both looked. Grandma and Grandpa looked like they could've been "Famous Olden Day Movie Stars"-he was handsome and she was very beautiful. That's the pics and how I see you both. I miss you
