Photography – A Family’s Lost Boy

I am a bit sad today and that is why I am writing this story.

I want to introduce you to one of my relatives…



This is why I am sad… I don’t know who this boy is.

He is obviously dead by now, but he was part of my family. I found this picture among my father’s archives and it was not labeled. The back of the photograph is blank and so is this boy’s story.

If someone had taken just a minute to write the date and the name, we would know a lot more about this fellow. I can conjecture, but it won’t make it right. At best it would be an educated guess.

He looks like my father’s side of the family. It could be my grandfather, Jack Rublefsky, who came over from Europe in the early 1900’s.

Here are some things that I would like to know:

    Who was this young boy?
    How old was he in this photograph?
    Was this a special occasion?
    Why is this the only picture of him in a box of hundreds?
    Was he my father’s father?
    Was he my father’s uncle?
    If not my grandfather or my father’s uncle, did he have any children?
    Where was this picture taken? (I think Europe)

The unfortunate part is that I am in my seventies and there is no one I can ask who would know definitively who this is. He is truly a boy “lost” to the ages!

If you have photographs that you will be passing on, why not make sure that they are identified so they don’t become unknown history?

Q.U.O.T.E. [Quotes Up On The Edge] – 20200608

Q.U.O.T.E. – 20200609

 

INTRODUCTION

If you happen to follow STATUS QUOtes on a regular basis, you might have noticed that controversial topics are largely avoided.

As a quotation enthusiast, I felt there was a need for a space with quotes that would resonate with readers and which, by the nature of the quote or the person quoted, might cut a bit closer to the bone than those on the STATUS QUOte pages.

That’s where Q.U.O.T.E.Quotes Up On The Edge comes in. These pages, unlike STATUS QUOtes, will not be published on a daily or regular basis. When there has been an ample number of witticisms, timely remarks, irreverent humor, etc. to gather an interesting compilation, they will appear on JBRish.com

If this is your “cup of tea,” check back often! Please do not comment about the topics and/or opinions; they are not necessarily those of JBRish. If you have something to say that would enlighten viewers regarding the meaning of the quotation or quip, then please feel free to chime in.

Until then, enjoy this Q.U.O.T.E. edition!

 

“Democracy is always harmful to elite interests. Almost by definition.” — Noam Chomsky

“It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emperor has no clothes. But the half-wit remains a half-wit, and the emperor remains an emperor.” — Neil Gaiman

“What the mother sings to the cradle goes all the way down to the coffin.” — Henry Ward Beecher

“I told the ambulance men the wrong blood type for my ex, so he knows what rejection feels like.” — Pippa Evans
