Old Oppel Family Photos

I recently received some old Oppel family photos from my Aunt Jill. This is my dad's half sister, same mom different dad. This was a very nice gesture and something that I will cherish especially since before seeing these photos I had never seen a picture of my dad's father.

The below picture is my Grandma Marilyn and my father in 1944, the year my dad was born. This is in Chester Park, Duluth.


Pictured below is my dad's father, Edward Oppel. He passed away sometime around 1980 I believe.


Here is Marilyn and Edward together in Bayview Heights, 1944.


Next two pictures are the same group plus Peter, 1944.



This is Edward's father, Cliff, and Deanna my dad's full sister, Duluth 1943.


Edward during the military deployment, Air Force pilot I believe, and Marilyn's father (my great grandfather) Peter Jens Christensen, Hobbs, NM 1949.


Edward and Marilyn's mother (my great grandmother) Noramay Christensen, Hobbs, NM 1949.


Lastly, my father, Peter Jay Oppel's graduation photo. I am not sure if this is college or high school. If it is high school it would be 1962 and if it is college it would be 1966. You can definitely tell the family resemblance between my dad and his father. My dad passed away on July 21, 2003.
