Billy (II), Bill (Sr.) & Mark Rousseau
Son, Father, Son
Bill Sr.'s hometown of Atlantic, Cass, IA
Jul 1960
This is an iconic family photo, that has now been replicated over four generations of Rousseau's. There are photo's of Bill, Sr. with his first son Bill, Bill, Sr. with both sons Bill & Mark, father & son Bill's & grandson Josh, and even later grandson Josh and his two sons with their father Bill. All taken at this same exact spot over a period of almost six decades. Black & white, and color photo's.

This was during one of the annual family treks to Atlantic & Wiota, IA to visit many relatives in Cass County, IA, usually in July.
