Teething on my Grandpa Dell's hook arm, 1954

Yes, I did teethe on my Grandfather Dell Galvin's hook arm. Dell was my maternal Grandmother's third, and final husband.

This was a different world--my Uncle Guy had a wooden leg, and I don't think anyone over about 38 on either side of my family had their original teeth. . .body parts, joints and giblets were not easy to come by for poor folk (nor are they now).
