Dad goes to war



Jeanne identified these guys for me - I knew the first man to Dad's right is Forrest, and the next to the last on the end is Gramp, but didn't the other men in the group. According to Jeanne, the third is Homer (Gramps older brother), 5th is Ray Coffman (husband of Velma?), 6th is Virgil Coffman (husband of Cletha?), 8th is Gramp and then Harold. Seems to be a Coolley gathering...not sure who the girl in the window could be, looks about 2 so born about 1939-1940?

I believe this a photo taken as Dad is heading off to war. He would've been in his mid-20's at the time? Jeanne found a distant relative who has identified these men with dad! They are, from left to right: Forrest Coolley, Dad, Homer Coolley, Roy Darrell Coolley (Roy's son), Roy S. Coolley, [don't know who the next man is], Ray Coolley, and Harold Coolley
