Uncle Ben Demby. c. 1948. Photographer unknown. Submitted by Holly Demby Molnar.

There are times when I act silly.  It probably is a genetic trait.  Here is (the late)  Uncle Ben Demby. His daughter Holly Demby  Molnar  (my silly cousin) sent it to us.  The family grew up in Bayonne, and Uncle Ben  (not the rice guy) was the youngest of nine.  He was known as a sharp dresser, a smooth dancer, and a ladies’ man.  During WWII he won a bronze star for valor  in the Pacific.     But here we see the other side.  —Paul Goldfinger,  Editor @Blogfinger
