School Days

School days are here again...my daughters are off to 5th grade & 8th grade this year. And since they are back to school, I thought I'd share a little canvas creation I made using a photo of school days long past. I used a copy of my dad's class picture from 1950. 4th grade class, Oakdale Elementary. Dad is the blond-haired boy standing next to the girl in the plaid dress{under the "4"}. Years later, two of his classmates became my uncle & my godfather. Uncle Joe is the blond-haired kid sitting between two girls{two fists in his lap} and Butchie{real name Andrew} is sitting next to the boy in front of my father{2nd boy in striped shirt...from the left}.
