This picture was taken in 1965, 20 years after WW2 ended. The shoes were hung from the rafters of the Farmer's Co-Op in Frederick, Maryland, when their owner left to go to war in the early 1940's. The man's name was Chick Harrison and I have no idea of his fate. My father's notes say only who they belong to and where they were hanging.  Walker |

What a melancholy picture.
I hope he returned.

Walker:
Without your explanation, the photo has an ....OK...?... feeling about it...as if we were waiting for the other shoe to drop (no pun intended).
However, with your explanation, it becomes a very poignant image...full of untold "what if's" to ponder. One picture may "be worth a thousand words" but, occasionally, a few words make the picture even more significant.
One certainly hopes Chick Harrison made it home safe-and-sound, and just forgot about the shoes in the rafter.
But it could be otherwise...and that makes the image even more powerful.
Thanks for sharing it.
