I am almost out the door, and no news, but Steve put Dad's photo so you can see it. Dad is on the bottom. Definitely not a man you want to mess with. And after Dad's capture, when the Nazi pulled off my Mom's black negligee that he had worn as a scarf around his neck throughout the War, Dad grabbed it to take it back. He got a mighty big slap on that one.

Now another clue for why I think the 2 men are Dad and Gidrie. Dad's father happened to be born in Paris but that line was from the Eifel in Germany/and Trier/and Lux/ or whomever these places belonged to during different times.
But Gidrie,he was from Louisiana. And I believe he was Creole and maybe I have written down or heard French Creole. He came to visit Mom and Dad in NY and somehow over the years they lost touch with one another. And Mom and Dad could not find him when they looked for him. Maybe I will get Gidrie's full name and see if I can track anyone down in his family.
But then again, maybe it is not Dad and Gidrie.
Much Later,
