Related by Marriage: Men in Arms

 
Chicago, Illinois, October 1950. Here's another image from the send off gathering in honor of Mr. Irene's paternal Uncle, Ignas. You know the men aren't Americans because of the manner in which they're interlocked at the elbows. American men wouldn't connect this way; they instead would wrap their arms around one another's shoulders.

(European men also are comfortable sitting with crossed legs.)
