My Brief Career as a Bathing Suit Model

While rustling through junk, I found some of my grandfather's photographs in the basement of my mother's house. 

While grandfather was a newspaperman in his professional life, with decades as an editor at The New York Times, he was a shutterbug in his off hours. The kitchen walls of my grandparents' home in Florida were covered with crowds of 8 x 10s of family, a public photo album.
