A valentine from my father, Joseph Forrai to his brother-in-law, Al Paskowicz. I am not sure whether the illustration was done by my father, or if he had one of his buddies draw it. I am also surprised that my father ended up with something he sent to Uncle Al. My father and Al were very close, and they shared the love of photography. I do have photographs that my Uncle Al took. My thoughts, are after the war, Al returned some items to my father.
