Memorial Day: 1891 to present

For many years circa ~1930-1940, my grandfather pictured below would get up before dawn, climb up at/near the top of the Nicholson Bridge, and play taps as the sun came up on Memorial Day.  Just another family tradition passed down verbally from my father over the years.

Check out the pic above. Talk about precision marching!
 
Many more to follow.
