I'm Wendy Weight Mason and I am starting this blog in an effort to collaborate with others on collecting the history of Grandpa, George Fredrick Weight. I would love to find stories and photos. I also want to make it available to those descendants of Grandpa, who want to learn more about him and his family. I will post photos and stories not just from what I find with my dad, Frank, who is Fred's youngest son, but I would like to post stories and pictures from others as well. So if you are a cousin of mine, and you have some photos or stories from your parents or grandparents, email it to me at twtleldmason@hotmail.com and I will post it on here as well. Thank you.

Fred's Camp Lewis Artilary Basketball team

The back of this photo is hard to read, but I will include it here. 
Grandpa, Fred, is next to the right
Frank had the original of this photograph.

The back of this photo says:
 "Charlie Chaplain. Fred Weight at Camp Lewis" 
Frank has the original of this photo.

Grandpa, G. Fred Weight, dressed in his World War 1 uniform.
Grandpa, Fred Weight, is on the far right. 
I am not sure who any of the others in the photo are or where the photo was taken. Looking at other pictures of Hattie, I am wondering if that is Hattie Johnson Weight, in front of Fred. 
What do you all think??
Frank has the original of this photo.
