George and Fran Vadnais’ family had quite a few pictures that they shared with me, so I thought I would show you some more of the earlier pictures.










According to Mnopedia, “Captain Billy’s Whiz Bang was one of the most popular and notorious humor magazines of the 1920s. It was created by Wilford Hamilton Fawcett, who had been a captain in the U.S. Army during World War I and gained the nickname Captain Billy. Fawcett would later tell reporters that he had started his magazine to give the doughboys—as World War I servicemen were popularly called—something to laugh about.”



Thanks for visiting, come back soon,
