84 year old drawing

My Fathers teacher gave him this in 1929. Dad was born in 1920 so he was a 9year old kid living in a farm house in Missouri and it survived and here it is 84 years later. He said that on Fridays the student that had the best week would get the drawing and this was Dad's week!!! Look at the strap on skates and the hair it's perfectly dated to the time. This photo is through the glass but it turned out pretty good. This drawing also survived my house fire in 2004 so it's had quite a life.
Enjoy what is probably the only surviving drawing by J.E Salyer.

beautiful and it's a treasure

Even better that it has a story with it.

Thanks I'm amazed it survived a 9 year old he must have been proud to have it.

Fantastic, this is the kind of stuff I like to see and read. Makes you feel good.

Great story and a beautiful drawing

Here he is. Scary what you can easily find on the internet.

Too bad he didn't have children.
