Welcome back to Memory Monday after a two-week break! My next series features a collection of black and white prints dating from the late 1940s and early 1950s. My mom discovered these prints a few months back, and I organized them into a photo album for her. Most of the pictures were apparently shot by my dad while he was stationed in Japan during the Korean conflict. But this week I’m starting off with a few family photos.
