He was born in Germany and the Hired Hand, this being 1942, was most likely off to fight in the war.
I wonder if Frank had any opinion on what was going on in Europe at the time.
Your colorization makes me think he was alert to his surroundings and was a thinker.
It's amazing where one photo and a little information can lead you. Faved!!
