Basketball Victory


Würzburg, Germany, about 1946. My friend Kris's maternal Uncle Al, second from right, poses with his Displaced-Persons-camp team after a basketball game. Uncle Al wrote on the back of the photo, "After a successful match with our brothers, the Latvians."

Thanks to Kris for making this photo available to us.

And that's my Dad in the center.

He was pretty grey by the time I was born, so it seems odd to see him in his younger youth and with dark hair!

Those shoes are a hoot.

Wow! I did not recognize him! I will add a label for him.
