My grandfather Pete is in short pants, on the end of front row. G-Uncle Troy is black jacket front row, beyond that, I can only line up names by sex and height ... wink emoticon (I'd only met Troy and I believe Homer, who they might have called Abe. Not sure, he was a Sheriff in Barry Co and gave me a speeding ride in his cruiser with the siren blaring.
Iliff is a boy. Cliff (it's actually Iliff). I believe he's second from the left, back row. My dad's name was Harold Iliff. He went by Jack. Seems to be a trend.
