This handsome young sailor would have turned 101 today. Lee Roy Flowers (1925–2010) Proudly served in the US Navy during WWII. Helped raise me, and as a child I thought he hung the moon. Miss you, Papa. 📷 US Navy, 1943 — age 18 #genealogy #familyhistory #WWII #georgia #gatheredhistories

A formal portrait of a young white man in a U.S. Navy uniform, approximately 18 years old. He has light, neatly combed hair and is wearing a dark sailor's uniform with a knotted necktie. He looks directly toward the camera with a composed, serious expression. Photograph circa 1943.

I've been a genealogist since 1998 — which means I've spent more than half my life convinced that the most important people in history are the ones nobody wrote books about. Some of you may know me as cornandcotton, or as Stephanie Pitcher Fishman. 1/5

Crawling from under my rock to reconnect and say hi. To the genealogy community. It’s been too long… I recognize so many handles but I’m doubting many remember me as cornandcotton but if you do, say hi! lol
