Picnic Dad

This photo may have been my Dad's favorite shot of himself, but this is how many family members remember him, in happier times:

Geneva area, Illinois, June 1967. Dad enjoys a smoke at one of the Lithuanian picnics along the Fox River. This is the photo that has stood, framed, on Mom's bookcase for years. I was delighted to learn recently that this is a favorite snapshot of my Toronto Cousin's eldest son.
