Challenge 4 - Famous Works - January 2017 at Oscraps

As I was searching for a photo that was inspired by The Thinker, I saw this photo of my dad, who looks like he is deep in thought. I had to use the progression of the photos to show what he was really thinking about!

Journaling reads:
You would be forgiven if you assumed that my father was especially moved by the proclamation read to him at his Award Ceremony. The Mayors Office honored his 50 years of service as a volunteer firefighter, listing his accomplishments including the many offices and Commissions that he held.The proclamation also recounted his family life and service in the National Guard. However, in the second photo, he is hiding his face as it was read that he cheats at Apples to Apples when playing with his grandkids. Reflection? Only if you count how he might plot to get away with it next time!
Beautiful page Chris - love your story - who can say- 50 years as volunteer? H deserves to be honored
 
Oh my goodness, Chris - this is so touching and wonderful and what a perfect day for me to see this layout that you posted earlier. I know you are SO proud of your dad and what an honor. He's SO handsome and must have been overcome by emotion. My grandfather was a fireman for many, many years and retired, too. I used to love to see him in his uniform and he used to let me play with his badge. I grew up at the firehouses that he was assigned to. I spent many many a day at one of them and had the best time. I remember getting to slide down that pole and play on the trucks when they were sitting in the station. Oh, the memories. Thans for sharing this in the chat section today.
