postscript

We have been sifting through the memorabilia since my father died, and it's hard to keep straight what has been posted where. Just for the record, I want to put this photo here. It must have been taken when Dad was in high school (1944 or 1945, I guess). I think it has that mythic quality of old photos: all the thousands of images we can generate now, cropped, shopped, auto-tuned ad infinitum can't hold a candle to it.
