This week's Rewind is the monthly feature Picture Parade and this time around takes on the central theme of Father's Day, observed this year on Sunday, June 18. Each photo in the grouping shows a father and son or daughter combo, with at least one of the pictured persons being associated with harness racing as a career.
#1 - Can you identify this father and daughter duo along with Mom?
#2 - Can you identify this father and son duo?
#3 - Can you identify this father and son duo? Clue: They didn't always carry a crutch with them.
#4 - Can you identify this father and son duo? Taken many years ago at Brandywine at a Father-Son competition.
#5 - Can you identify this father and son duo? You might have to know the family to get the right son.
#6 - This photo shows a father and two sons and I am not certain if the sons were ever involved in harness racing. I know Dad was.
#7 - Can you name these folks and here we have three generations?
#8 - If you can come up with the last name of this trio you will succeed.
#9 - Can you identify this father and son duo?
#10 - I am going to close out with a real easy one. If you had trouble with any of the others you should "ace" this one.
Bonus Photo
This picture was taken for a Mother's Day feature but since three sons are in it let's test your skills one more time. Alvin Weil, Pres. of Roosevelt Raceway, is second from the right. Their father's name was James, a dairy and potato farmer who was also involved in harness racing. Maybe he was home doing the milking. Who are these fine folks?
Blast From The Past
Who in the audience can identify what these fine fellows are doing in this picture that was taken over 100 years ago? Why not give it your best shot!
Quote For The Week: "Dadication is a word specially created for this day we call Father's Day."
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL FATHERS IN THE READING AUDIENCE!
On a personal note I am both proud and thankful to be blessed as a father and grandfather.

Regarding the third generation represented in photo #7: The diminutive older gentleman clutching his Harrisburg catalogue is my late grandfather, the patriarch of the Burgess clan, Bert Ida Burgess. Bert was foaled in Campbellton New Brunswick in 1898.
Thank you Mr. Smith.
