Albert, Ben, Frank

According to my grandmother, this picture was taken during WWII
immediately following the death of Grandmother Klishis.
Uncle Ben was called home when her health took a turn for the worse,
she seemed better, he returned, only to be immediately recalled for her funeral.
(Olga is pronounced awe-guh)
Uncle Ben
The back of the photograph says:
Taken in Gulfport Mississippi
July - 18 - 1942
To Brother Algrid
& family
Grandmom says that Algrid was my grandfather's given name,
but it was changed (by the school?) to Albert.

Ambrose Laukaitis
This picture is in pretty bad shape, with a hole in the center, so if it looks a little strange, it's because I had to create a portion.
My grandmother's father. He came to the US from Lithuania as a teenager. My grandmother said that despite immigrating at such a late age, he worked very hard on his english, and spoke extremely well.
