Another entry from Turnbull -

1943:

Michael Corleone, in a display of solidarity with his family, was taking revenge on the Japs for attacking Pearl Harbor on his father's birthday...brother Fredo, attempting to keep up with Michael's exploits, found himself baffled by "Pacific Theater," which he thought was the name of a neighborhood movie house...brother Sonny, having successfully paired sister Connie with Carlo Rizzi, proposed to his father that the Genco Olive Oil Company branch out into matchmaking...brother-in-law-to-be Carlo Rizzi was making his 223rd unsuccessful attempt to get into sister Connie's knickers...

MEANWHILE:
In a vest-pocket park on Elton Street near Hegeman Avenue in the East New York section of Brooklyn, the kid Turnbull was being instructed by his father on how to live an enjoyable and rewarding life. "If ya wanna be a swinger, kid," advised Turnbull Sr., "ya gotta start real early..."



What a cute kid!!

Also, noteworthy - check out the carriage in the background. I don't know if they were "indigenous" to the big cities, but those things used to be the size of a Buick; you don't see them anymore - I guess with cars becoming more accessible to many those carriages were replaced with strollers.

Your dad was a handsome man.
