Lovable LeRoy

Found some cool old photos of Uncle LeRoy in Anna's old scrapbooks: This would have been taken in late 1912 or early 1913, when LeRoy Friedrich (his mother always wrote Friedrich, not the Frederick it was later Americanized as) Sprick (6/1/12-1/29/85) was less than a year old. Already, he had a twinkle in his eye that signaled the wry sense of humor that characterized him as a grown-up. LeRoy regaled baby Pam, your scrapblog editor, with a joke in 1957. In this photo of an exceedingly large, delicious cake, you may also notice LeRoy and wife Violet. Don't have a date on this one, but it was probably taken for a major wedding anniversary.
