Adalbert is a forum for me, to post ephemera, photography, poetry, occasional travel notes, and various spontaneous motions. Cover photo: Parsonage where my great-grandfather spent his early years.

I wonder what the pin in his waistcoat lapel means. I tried looking it up on-line & found another photo of a man wearing one but no explanation. Ray
