Old Photos Of Lester (Dad)

Lester Nelson (dad) in their wooden fishing boat on Lake Darling in Alexandria. One of my favorite photos.
Lester and his mom Rose, about 1923. (He was born in 1919, so I figured he looks about 4?) Lester's dad Enoch Nelson is on the right. This was taken in Alexandria. It must have been after 1916, since Enoch was wearing a cowboy hat after he and Rose had tried their luck with cattle ranching in Texas. They came back to Alexandria by 1919, when Lester was born. Too bad they didn't keep the oil rights!

  1. That picture of Lester looks like you at that age. And Grandma Rose looks like if you took your nose, squished it flat, and stuck it on Tracy's face. And dressed her up in a funny outfit.
