Friday is here, so a perfect time for Tom's fun meme, The Weekend Roundup. The final vowel is featured (unless you count the occasional 'y' ), and offers a few challenges so I'll give it my best...
Begins with 'U' includes the USAAF - Unites States Army Air Forces prior to the creation of the USAF as a separate service branch in 1947. This is 1946, and my dad is seated all the way left. Place is likely Keesler Fiend (now Keesler AFB) in Biloxi, Mississippi. Note that the airmen are wearing Uniforms!
Taken in 2008 is the pep band at the University of Hartford, our children's alma mater. Daughter Allegra is plays the flute just above the trombone player. The wheelchair seating was in front of the band for basketball games - they rocked the arena!
To the left of the frame is the Union Congregational Church in Rockville, Connecticut. This building from 1892 is actually the third church bearing the name, the first two wooden structures succumbing to fire...
A Favorite. Patti captured this on Wednesday and I love the view. Looking into the woods at osbornedale State Park, a few golden leaves are hanging on but what I like is the misty look of the filtered light over the trees. Have a great week all!
Wonderful U photos! The old soldier group is my favourite. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteMy basic training at Fort Hood, Texas, had wooden barracks like the one your dad was sitting by. I have always liked the pretty New England churches. This one is holding its space nicely.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice Thanksgiving to you and Patty.

...my father who was in the Seabees in WWII was in Biloxi, Mississippi for a while before going to Guam. Music sure is a great activity for young people, one that they can enjoy for life. Union Congregational Church sure is a beauty. It great to still be able to enjoy fall's colored leaves, I'm going to be raking them today. Thanks Palph for stopping by, I hope that you will have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
