Happy SUNday! – (found) pictures of my dad

Pictures of my dad Paul Whelan in Paris in 1945. He was an MP and spent most of the war at the Brooklyn Navy Yard which was just down the street from where he was raised and his family still lived. He wasn’t posted to Europe until later in the war.

A Brooklyn “kid” in Paris. My dad was about 31 in this picture.
My dad was in the CCC before the war started and worked for the NYC Transit Authority.
Great smile and a note for my mom.

Me in 1975 at my first duty station (NAS Pensacola) after Navy Aerographer’s Mate school (weather).

22-years old and still skinny from boot camp.

Green – outside my studio window

After a brief rain shower.
Overlooking the wetlands outside my studio window.

I know Florida is almost unbearably hot and humid but I’ll take the green it supports any day.
