Gilbert Brooks Lee had his his photograph taken when he was 5 year-old in 1918.  He has a huge straw hat and is holding bowl of quince.  We think he was from Portland, Oregon.  There is a charming message on the back, "Its a wonderful likeness. He picked quinces so here they are. As he looks- he hits the nail on the head every time and drives my brin to madness with precocious questions..."  Gilbert seems to be waring some kind of coveralls.
