Hi Mike – I love this series. My brother sold “Grit” for a while, too. This one reminds me of the photo we found of my father and his schoolmates last year in a book. The boys were dressed similarly, and their clothes were in similar condition. Dad’s pants must’ve been hand me downs from his older brother – they were gigantic. But everyone looked clean. Thanks.
