John Walsh
John Walsh, Nola's father
Per Kathleen, this picture was taken at a life insurance agent's convention.
John is in the front row, and is the only one:
- Who doesn't have a wrinkled suit (must have been summer with those straw hats)
- Who doesn't have a pen in his pocket
- Whose pants are exactly the right length
- Who has a rose in his lapel instead of a "convention ribbon"
... and incidentally, the sweetest, kindest, nicest gentleman you could know.

"I used to cuss a lot when I first learned how. Practice makes perfect. Mom washed my mouth out with soap. I didn't get the connection. What's cussing got to do with hygiene?"
– Paul Dunne
