Several months ago I visited my grandchildren in Washington D.C. Two year old Elle loves books but she also likes family stories. I told her several about my brother, her great uncle Rolf --- looking for money near the flagpole at the beach, playing "Man and Roy" and wrestling with our brother, Andy. When I ran out of new material we called him in New Hampshire. He told us how much he loved playing in a nearby stream, collecting tadpoles and frogs. We remembered the time one of his frogs escaped in the house and frightened our visiting Great Aunt Alice. Isn't this photo (circa 1956) of Rolf wonderful? Thanks to our late father for this special contribution to the stories I tell my grandchildren.
