These are pictures of my Uncle Bill, husband of  my late Aunt Leah of the "squeezy hugs". These pictures were taken when he was only 19 years old during the occupation in Japan, 1946. As a child I was always leery of my Uncle Bill. His temper had a short fuse and he liked to keep his own children in line with liberal use of a fly swatter. He's mellowed considerably since then, and is now everyone's favorite Grandpa.
