Bessie, Ed and Fred Seaver at Columbia University in 1935 -- (Not So) Wordless Wednesday #912

 This is a priceless (to me) image in my computer file folders from the Seaver/Richmond family photograph collection passed to me by my cousin Laura in 2008 (colorized using AI Google Gemini 3 from a black-and-white photograph): 


This photograph shows Alma Bessie (Richmond) Seaver (1882-1962), Edward Richmond Seaver (1913-2004), and Frederick Walton Seaver (1876-1942) on the happy occasion of Ed's graduation from Columbia University, probably in June 1935.  I don't know the exact setting for the photograph, but it is probably at Columbia University in New York City.

Alma Bessie and Frederick Seaver were my paternal grandparents, and Edward Seaver was my father's only brother that survived childhood.  Edward Seaver was the first college graduate in my Seaver line, I believe.  He also played guard on the Columbia college football and the team went to the 1934 Rose Bowl, defeating Stanford 7-0 on a rainy day.  

My thanks to cousin Laura for sending this picture, and many others, to me, and for permitting me to display them.

This photograph is a part of my family history.
