In the Oak Forest


Ąžuolynė, Lithuania, 1940. My Dad's twin sister, Jonė, relaxes, on the far right, with two friends. Jonė wrote one word on the back of this photo, "Ąžuolynė." "Ąžuolynė" means "Oak Forest," and it is the name of a small town near Kaunas, in the Šiauliai region.

Thanks to my Toronto Cousin for making this photo available to us.
