    My dad had a lot of interesting jobs and an interesting life [he had a pet skunk, alligator, possum, etc]. He went to Saint Anselm's College - a Jesuit university in NH. During his summer break one year, he got a job working for Cott Beverages - dragging a small merry-go-round with his panel van and setting up in places like this - on Lake Masasecum. We had never seen this photo until a few years ago when i was reading the Sunapee Magazine and there it was. I knew it was him when i saw the picture, although he was not identified in the photo - it was just a historical photo they put in. He was 19. Several people contacted the magazine to tell them who it was and they sent me a good copy of the photo which i had framed and gave to him and my mom. I should have taken a picture of the magazine too, but wasn't thinking at the time. He passed away last September.

      This must have been taken in 1959. My sister and i shared the same birthday with him too! [i was born one year after her and 25 years after my dad].

      what a nice picture.... tanta añoranza (imposible for me to translate)

      Thanks enverybody. He had been sick for a number of years, so it was not a surprise. Kiva - añoranza! Esa palabra me tenía perplejo! I think a decent translation is 'sweet nostalgia'. posiblemente?
