10. Great picture, MrScorpio

My grandfather was a great fan your great uncle. I remember listening to the match between Louis and Schmeling
in 1938. My grandfather was so disappointed when it only lasted a couple of minutes. Joe Louis was the hero of the country for many of us. Thanks for sharing your pictures. Handsome family. Sorry about your aunt....z
