Favorite Photo - my Grandfather, Edward William Kludt

             

Last year I talked about family reunions and the photos from them.  About 12 years ago, I inherited a lot of photos from my aunt, Lois Haynes (she was my dad’s sister).  I’ve recently been looking at them.  I really liked the photos of my grandfather, her Dad.

What a dapper of a man!  I don’t think I’ve ever seen him all dressed up.  He was usually dressed in his work clothes.  Papa worked for Weyerhaeuser in Oregon, Idaho, and Washington – as a mechanic and as a foreman on constructing logging roads.

He also spent a lot of time helping his family – either on their farm or clam digging.  He loved being with his family – whether it was his own children or his grandchildren.
