1926-2010
84 years old!
We have unearthed some treasures in pictures while going through Dad's stuff and just wanted to share his (younger) life in pictures...
Back of this photo says "Lucea Dorthea Eggers - 8 yrs. Frederick McCullough Eggers - 18 mo."
Back of picture says "Frederick McCullough Eggers 3 yrs old 3 feet high" :)
"4 years old 1930"
Must have been about 12 here and in the 6th grade...
July 14, 1944 (just before going into the military)
Military picture sometime between 1944 & 1946
(Not sure of the date - but I'm guessing in the 40's) Dad & Aunt Lucea with Grandma & Grandpa McCullough. Back of picture says "Fred has the smile that won't come off" And look at that, I think he's the tallest one there! :)Of course there are more pictures of Dad. 20 years had passed from his time in the Military to June 1964 when he married Mom. (That picture is in a frame about 250 miles from me right now so I can't post it!) Then there's us 3 kids in the mix and the 5 grandkids. There's pictures of him in his blue overalls & hat, and his little red pickup, and the whole family together picture (unfortunately that was a few years ago and is missing the two youngest grandkids), but most importantly is the last (known) picture taken of him just about a month before he passed away - his 84th birthday.
