See the Resemblance

So remember that 1956 yearbook picture of me?

Here's my Dad with his sisters and niece. This picture was taken after he and his family relocated to Seabrook, NJ after the war. There was a photographer who was cataloging the events of World War II and the treatment of the Japanese Americans after being placed in internment camps. He took pictures of my Dad's family and their "together" time.

So notice the resemblance? Oh, and an interesting fact about this photo. My Dad could not play the piano. This picture was totally staged. Nice to catalog accurate, historical events, right? =)

No offense, but your dad is much better looking than you are with that 50's-ish photo. That marked up photo of you is just creepy.

Haha, his sisters do look a little confused, like, "Why is he sitting at the piano? He doesn't even know how to play the thing."
