On Dec. 30, 1944, an Associated Press photographer snapped this photograph at Fitzsimons Hospital in Denver, Colo., which served severely wounded soldiers from the fronts in Europe and the Pacific. The patient was one Sgt. Emory Hurd, wounded when he was shot down over France. The nurse was Marion Sprick. That's Aunt Marion to some of us, and Mom to others. Sweet as this guy looks, with his imposing model airplane and all, we're glad she went on to marry Wally, and not him.
