Humor and photography - What a character Victor is
Filed under Uncategorized by telegraph photo staff at 4:18 pm
He was standing in the driveway waiting for his dinner when I got there.
As volunteers Nancy Merrill and Jan Brackett of Hudson, got out of their
car, a smile lit up his face. Then he put an unlit cigar in his mouth
and we all began to chuckle.
I was at Victor’s home in Nashua, to make a photograph for a column in
The Telegraph about gas prices and the Meals on Wheels program. At the
age of 89, he’s doing very well, and has quite the sense of humor. The
volunteer drivers and I were accompanied by volunteer coordinator,
Charlotte Troddyn who needed Victor to sign a release for the program,
after being photographed.
He quickly complied, and asked to use her back as a desk. As she began
to giggle, I took more pictures. There’s something about this moment
that makes me smile. After signing his name, he told the ladies to come
back, and he would take them out to dinner. “Just don’t forget your
wallet,” he said. “I eat a lot.”
