My Last Photo Received
My daddy wanted a Harley his entire life. Right before he was killed, he sent this picture in a letter describing his pure and utter joy of riding in the very front of the poker run (or bike run) .. until his bike had an issue and he lost his place. He said he was torn up but still loved every minute of it!! He even described the joy he felt when the wind hit his face.

Unknown Doughboy
I found this photo among my aunt's things and don't know who he is. It could be her husband who was in WWI but it doesn't look like him. The photo is stamped with the location information above. My aunt was Edith Miller from Bonham, Texas b. 1899 and her mother's family is Childress, so I suspect this is someone from the Childress family. Obviously he was a Doughboy and after the war went to the Fort Smith, Arkansas area, as Belmont was a town there but I cannot find the town any longer.
