My Grandfather Leon Nungester died in 2001, and when we were going through his things we found some negatives (in their original envelopes!) from the 1940s. some of them appear to be of friends and family, and some are from just before his leaving for Europe for WWII with the draft. If I remember correctly, he was drafted right near the end of the war; he probably headed over around the end of 1944. I'll have to ask my mom to be sure.
I was able to scan the negatives against a white background, and then invert them to see what the photos really look like.
At any rate, here we have my "Grandpa Deunt" on the right, with a fellow soldier friend.
The negatives were all mixed together; I'm not sure if these two are family or friends of the family. Either way, I wonder what's the story behind that eye patch? :)
And here is my Grandpa again on the right. My cousin Kyle bears a striking resemblance to him. Once again I don't know who his friend with the awesome hat is, but if I find out I'll post.
That's all for now - I'm off for some Star Wars RPing. Will post more later!
