VTT And the Temperance League

My Dad [he will be 99 in May] and his family in England were all members of the Salvation Army, and as such were Teetotallers. As a young fellow my Dad signed this pledge to abstain from intoxicating beverages. I'm pretty sure the date is 1919 [it's so faded] he would only have been eight years old.

At his 90th. birthday party he was served a glass of champagne, he took a tiny sip and we all ROFL at the face he pulled!

There is some info. on the Order Of Rechabites here . I love the quaint old-fashioned wording and illustration.

An original pic of my Dad as a young lad, 1926, age fifteen, in scout uniform, I looked exactly like this at age fifteen but he looks so much younger than that to me. I need to get it archival framed so while I have it out I will take it to the framer-after it stops raining!

I am running behind today so this is the extent of my offering for VTT but you can find lots more over at ColoradoLady's blog.
