Edward at six years of age

Ed remembered this picture. He was six years of age and it is taken in his back yard. The pear tree in the foreground was huge when I was in Princeton. The pears off of that tree were delicious and he loved them so much that he planted a pear tree in our back yard which produced fruit for about twenty years (several bushels a year). His favourite was upside down pear cake (i.e. a white cake floated on a base of fresh pears, butter and brown sugar. 

 

 His grandsons look like him a little but especially their bright blue eyes. He adored them and they loved him back.
