I found some miscellaneous photos of cousin Dennis Jon (b. 7 June 1939 at Bloomfield, NE), the second behind me as grandchildren of Laurence and Fern Peters Koftan.
The oldest, hence his youngest, seems to be one of those Photo Booth prints, though I've cropped it. He looks very much like his father, Earl Clarence Ellingson, here. The one on the right seems to be a small school picture.
Aunt Audree wrote on the back of this, "Taken the other day Jan 47--Denny--he's 7 1/2 yrs old". The one on the right is from his Navy days obviously.
This was in a folder with a naval chain necklace around the photo, "N.T.C. GREAT LAKES," stamped below the anchor.
Aunt Audree wrote on the back of this "Denny & Lindsey - He was 9 in July. He has on Denny's uniform."
And here he is, on his favorite couch that Mom had of Grandma and Grandpa Koftan's.
