Holiday Party Photos



In honor of the holiday season, here are some photos from holiday parties past. These are pictures of employees of the Chicago office of the Veterans Administration. They don't seem too jolly, but the hats and ties are rather festive.


My parents, Edwin F. Brady and Ann Skrobul, worked at the Veteran's Administration. My mom started there in about 1943 and worked there until about 1955. I'm not sure when Edwin began working at the VA, but in 1977 he retired from there.

This is a photo of Mr. Chadwick, my mom's boss when she worked in the Personnel Department. Unfortunately, none of the other people in these photos are identified. If you think you recognize someone, I'd like to hear from you.

Enjoy this holiday season!

I love these "fun photos" where everyone seems so glum. I'm sure there's more to the story than what the pictures show. I'm enjoying your blog, Kathy.

They do look glum. I hope they cheered up once the band started playing (if there was one.)

I'm glad you are enjoying my blog. Thanks for commenting.
