Sunday Drive: Encanto - June 29, 1931

These snapshots of Junior* show his injuries caused by a "mash up" in 1931. The bandages hide the fact that his jaw was severely damaged which affected his bite. Poor kid indeed!

[From my personal collection]

Ironically, this is what enabled the identification of his remains in the late 1940s as the Army Air Force dentist kept a cast he had taken during Junior's pilot training because he considered it significant.

*Harold Delbert Currey, Junior (his friends called him Hal) was the only biological child of the parents who raised me.
