Friday's Photo: New Family

The Wedding - Shanghai, China

My blog has been a little quiet these last few weeks. We have been in the process of adding more family to our tree. 

Congratulations to my son and his wife. We are very happy to add his wife and her beautiful daughter to our family tree!

Friday's Photo: Another Picture of Dad

Whit Criswell Bryan - 1943

I found this photograph of my father, Whit Criswell Bryan, in an almost finished album last week.  I knew that I had never posted it and filed it in my memory for a future post.  

However, a few days later, I found this same photograph in the January 25, 1946 issue of the Borger Daily Herald at The Portal for Texas History. Dad was stationed on the U.S.S. Adams, a destroyer, and had just left Shanghai. 

As a young man who had spent his youth in small towns in Texas, Shanghai must have been a big experience. I wonder what it was like in 1946? Click on the Portal for Texas History link to read about Dad and the U. S. S. Adams.
