When Dad started jumping over apple trees, we all just had to roll our eyes at him.

I acquired my first camera when I was 10 years old and began taking black & white photographs of my Family and Friends.

I have many pictures of my Dad [Mr. Wolff] from over the years, but one of my favorites is of him out in the orchard getting his morning exercise.

Dad would gather up all of us kids and take us outside with him into the adjoining world of earth and sky, orchards and trees.

The outdoor adventures always resulted in lots of fun for us.

But, when Dad started jumping over apple trees, we all just had to roll our eyes at him.

I often had my Brownie SIX-16 camera with me and thank goodness I had it on this one awesome day.

Dad was forty years old when I took this picture.

It helps explain how he was able to live to the fine old age of 95.

He managed to always remain young at heart!

Without a doubt, jumping over apple trees was a big part of his longevity.

And of course, lots of humor and love!!!
