Surprise! A 1945 Newspaper Photograph of My Late Uncle, Richard, As A Young Boy Scout.

Now I finally have time to show you a 1945 newpaper photograph of my late uncle, Richard, as a young Boy Scout.  Yes, Uncle Richard was a celebrity back then.  My S.F. cousin, Jeanne, sent that picture to us in an e-mail after she and other relatives found it while going through Richard's memorabilia.  I told you about Richard in another blog 2 months ago, remember?  This picture was taken at the funeral of FDR in Washington, D.C.  Jeanne was told by Richard, her father, that he was worried that this black woman was in such grief that she was going to faint or fall and he moved up close, ready to hold her up.  See it below.

.Here is a picture of Uncle Richard as a young Boy Scout and a black woman:

LOOK magazine printed it in 1960.

If you are planning go on a vacation in Washington, D.C. in the future and on a tour at FDR Memorial site, that picture is on the display there.  Surprise, huh?
