On the back was written "Lookout Point at Yarnell Hill." The baby is me, and so it was probably 1955 or 1956.

My dad re-enlisted for a while at some point but I don't think he stayed in long that second time. He was at Camp Chaffee, Arkansas the second time, already married to my mom, so it was after 1948.

My oldest child is called Kirby, after my dad. When he was born, his other three grandparents were living. (This is my calligraphy, below, and there's me on the right and my dad above. His mom, my Mamaw, was alive when our Kirby was born.)
