Delbert "Bud" Marion Saunders in his Late Teens


Delbert Marion Saunders.
This photo is actually a small proof, about 1-inch in size,
that I scanned at 300% to make it larger.
It appears to be from a sitting he took as a Senior, for his high-school yearbook.
The photo is not dated, but it is probably from 1930.


Delbert Marion Saunders,
looking strikingly handsome in a tux.
This photo is also a small proof, about 1-inch in size,
that I scanned at 300% to make it larger.
These photos would have been taken while he was and a senior at
Fremont High School, in Oakland, CA.


Delbert Marion Saunders, at the beach.

Two things I love about this photo are the old fashioned swim suit he is wearing and the fact that whomever he was there with is cropped out of the photo. I found this in the front of my grandmother's teen-age photo album, along with the torn photo below.  Clearly, she wanted to save a photo of him, but not of the girl he was with at the time.  How adorable.


Delbert Marion Saunders wearing some dandy knickers.
He on a beach and, from his stance (and knowing what Grandpa loved most),
I'm guessing he was fishing.
Scroll down to reveal the mystery of who is cut out of the photo on the left.

Looking through my grandfather's High School yearbook,
I found a photo of someone who looks like this girl, who also signed the year book.
Her name was Geneva Proctor.  She may have been his High School sweet heart.
