Thomas Blanchard Huff

I love this picture I took of my Dad's first cousin who had lived in New Orleans and was visitng us at the time of my youngest daughter's wedding. My Dad and he were like brothers, since my Dad was the only child. Thomas Blanchard "Tom" Huff was a gunnery sergeant in the Army in World War II and was awarded the Bronze Star. He worked for the railroad, managed apartments and was proprietor of Huff's Hardware. He was a member of AmVets, VFW Post 7194, the Disabled American Veterans, the American Legion and the Timberwolves, his infantry division. After his death in April 2005, I became the matriarch of the family.
