Wouldn’t it be cool as heck to shake loose the humpback with the super long stock that frank likely made for it?

I was just reading more about Al Tomaini and his wife, and apparently they married in 1936 in Ripley, NY. Strange coincidence... that is about 7 miles down the road from me.

Brian nailed it with the shirt picture. Too bad we can't find a picture of Al shooting or a reference to him hunting. He did like fishing so hunting/shooting shouldn't be a stretch. Ken |

Ken,
I was wondering how on earth you thought it was Al from the hundreds of giants recorded on that site. But, you searched the first giant you thought of based on your memories from FL. And it happened to be right.

Sara,
I wonder if that man is Robert Wadlow. I think he was the tallest man ever, and lived in a time period that would work for that car, and the way they are dressed. He was a bit of a celebrity in his day, which would have made this a key moment to photograph. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Wadlow If it is indeed him, the Guiness people may be able verify it. In comparison to the other guy, unless he is an inordinarely SHORT man, the tall man is definitely WAY into 7+ feet tall. Very cool family heirloom! - NDG |

I think the circumstantial evidence is compelling that points to the Tomani fella. Two dimensional photographs can be tricky and there are plenty of fish stories and trick pictures of 3 lb bass that look like a 7 pound bass. |
