While going through some family photos last night, Thomai found a nice old black and white photograph featuring Papou Vangelis in Polygyros standing near a building he he had built.  We think this photo is from the early 1970s:

Papou in Polygyros

On the back of the photo is a note from Papou Vangelis, written in Greek cursive:

In this picture I laugh for my courage and enjoy my work.

When we visited our family in Polygyros in 2004, we stopped to visit Thio Saki at his store, which is on the ground floor of the same building.  While we were there, we took a picture.  Here's how the property looks these days:

The building is still owned by our family.  One day, we hope to spend a lot more of our time there.

Efharisto to Anthony for translating the inscription on the back of the photo.
