In the second post of this series we have two pictures of my late grandfather, Rev. Jerry Franklin Presley, while he served our country in Korea. I love the worn tape on the edges. I imagine my grandmother receiving these photos in the mail and taping them up as she waited for him to return. Interestingly enough, Presley was a typist for the U.S. Army. I’m not sure what the duties of a typist were (please enlighten me)… but I’m pretty positive they didn’t include posing on “Colonel’s Jeep” in your cockeyed cap or doing push-ups in your sandals. It almost paints a picture of a rule breaker, far from the man I remember, the pastor. I love that.
