Lester Harms

Having posted a picture of Lois Harms, I can't very well neglect her brother, Lester, now can I? This photo comes from Aunt Minnie's steamer trunk.

This may be a confirmation portrait (there's a cross on the book he's holding — a catechism, maybe?). Lester was born in 1904 (Social Security Death Index), and here he appears perhaps 13 years old, so I'm guessing the photo dates to about 1917.
