    WOW! This is my grandfather. He married Augusta Gormley and they are the parents of Violet Hughes, Louis Milton Hughes, the little boy in the picture,and Josephine Hughes, my mother.

    Thank you for a lovely surprise,

    I'm glad you found this photo! And thank you so much for the supplemental information about your grandfather. We didn't have the names of your grandfather's other family members, so I've added them. You might also be interested in seeing your mother in our yearbook collection. Here's a link to her senior picture.

    I would like to include this photo in my ""That's my grandma!" Found Family on Flickr Commons" Data Lifeboat. A Data Lifeboat is an archival format for Flickr photos.

    Would that be OK with you?
    Thanks!

    Mr. Rolf's business prospered unto the present day; Rolf Griffin Heating & Air Conditioning fixed my furnace in January of 2010. It is now Branch #008 of the Service Experts chain.

    Great information, thanks for passing this along! I just looked up the Rolf Griffin Service Experts branch in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. It's fascinating that they're still doing business!
