March 18 is the birthday of my paternal grandfather, Clifford Lutter (1915-1980).
He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1915. He was born outside of Newark, New Jersey because, as the story goes, his father, a musician, was performing in Philadelphia.
He came of age during the Great Depression. He worked a variety of jobs, but the stories center around his two passions: photography and police work.
His photographs are of unnamed models. As the years pass, so do people who might recognize the subjects. Please view them here to possibly help identify any of these people.
Below is a previously unpublished photograph of Clifford as a young man. He is on the right, standing inside the tree. I do not know who the other person is. The location is likely in Holmdel, Monmouth County, New Jersey- the home of this maternal grandparents, William Walling Winterton (1863-1932) and Catherine Butterfoss Dunn (1865-1944).
