Multi-generational Family

Inter-generational love between Black males is rarely seen.  Arrie Wells, age 91, has lived in the same house in southwest Baltimore for fifty-seven years.  Arrie is known to many generations of Baltimoreans as "Cool Breeze."  Strolling along one day, I watched him play with his great, great, grandson.  Nearing  his "stoop" I kneeled and politely asked if I could document the love I observed between  the two of them. He nodded. The three-year-old jumped in his lap for comfort and a "classic" was captured.
