This is my grandfather, Carl Copper, born in 1893. The photo was taken in Elwood, Pennsylvania in 1939. I look at this photo and I can see my grandfather's entire life. On the surface there is the struggle and hardship, but underneath there is much more - resilience, triumph and many more facets of a long, hard life.
