grandpa's birthday part 1

my grandfather, dwight douglass, recently had a 90th birthday. his three sons came together from south carolina (gene, my dad), indiana (alan) and tennessee (scott) to give him a party. alan put together a really fantastic presentation of some of the honors my grandfather earned during his service in WWII. afterwards, my grandfather gave a speech about some (albeit erroneous) family history. i tried to accompany him with some visual aids. (though accurate for time and place, not all the pictures are of those from whom we are directly descended.) my grandfather is a sweet man and i'm proud to know him.
