The guy in slide 13 looking directly at the camera looks kind of like my Grandfather.  I suppose it is possible since that is only an hour by car from where I grew up.

Well that would be something if he were your grandfather.  I wonder if there's a way to find out for sure.

Glad I lived in San Francisco during those years. Great photos. Thank you.

ROCAMORA, a novel of 17th century Spain, available on line at Amazon, B&N, and can be ordered at booksellers through Ingram and Books in Print.

If, as Napoleon said, "History is a myth men agree upon," let mine be the definitive myth.

I suppose I could dig out some old family photos and compare them.  It does not look my Grandmother he is dancing with though, but then you cannot see her face either.
