David F Butler or "Pop". My late paternal Grandfather. Pop died when I was in middle school. I now realize how similar my life has turned out to how his was. He was sick most of my life with st lewis bodies with dimensia, and I never got to know him on the level I wanted to, although we were very close. A slide from his camera of him on vacation with my grandma, Janice Butler or "nanny". Pop was always behind the camera but this is one occasion the picture was of him.
