Dad serenading Uncle Don -- probably a Beatle's tune!

Don and his wife Gertrude loved music.  Dad even has cassettes of his grandma, Dorothy Crain singing with her brother, Don and Don's wife Gertrude.  We played one of the tapes for Don.  It made him teary eyed.

Daniel and his grandmother's brother and his dad's uncle, Don Crain
