This has been my absolute favorite family photo for as long as I can remember. I’ve always thought of it as “Grandpa and the Tall Guy.” And while I have no context on any of this, I want to think that someone saw the humor in getting the shortest man in town to stand next to the tallest one and grabbing a quick photo.

My grandpa wrote “with Bob Bowers, Branson Colo” on the back of the print.

My grandfather was about 5′-2″, which I think puts Bob Bowers at something like seven feet tall.
