But it almost looks too good like maybe an adult may have drawn the mustache? But gee your grandfather is/was so very handsome indeed! It's too bad how some folks back then didn't have as many photos of themselves taken, but maybe you be lucky to find something about him, from other relatives or ?? It sure is worth the hunt.
