Julius and my grandfather...

Julius and my grandfather ... with an unknown nursery customer in the middle.  This photo is undated, but from my grandfather's appearance I'd guess it's from 1957 or 1958.

The man at left is Julius Mate, the Hungarian immigrant who left in a small house on our farm and helped out (especially in our greenhouse).  He's the man my dad helped by lending him $800 to bring his family (wife and two boys) to the U.S.  This is the only photo I'm aware of that has Julius in it, and I'm delighted to have found it.  Seeing his face again brings back lots of lots of memories...
