Apropos of nothing

Came across this photo yesterday. It is a picture of my mother when she was a little girl, her father, and Robert Wadlow, who is generally considered the tallest man who ever lived. And who apparently also lived near my mother when she was a little girl.

My mother is on the right. Wadlow is in glasses.

    That’s pretty amazing. And sad that he only lived to 22.

    Hi Todd, great photo. I’m a writer in Burbank (but from the Midwest) and I’m working on a book about Robert Wadlow. May I contact you regarding your family photo? Please reach me when you get a moment….THANK YOU. Steve (coxwriter@aol.com)
