From left, my Uncle John, unknown, my father, Barbara Sicherman, Esther Sicherman, my Uncle Ned. This looks like it's shot from the Canadian side facing the American Falls. John looks dapper as usual. He was my beautiful Aunt Mamie's favorite. Photo by, I'm guessing, Jake Sicherman. (In September 1939, Germany and the Soviet Red Army invaded Poland.) Click to enlarge.

Since I know some of these people, I can safely say that personality really shows in childhood. Uncle John is a little suspicious of the photographer - your Dad is holding something very carefully - Barbara is leaning slightly as she still does - and Uncle Ned's pose is very masculine.
