That is my wife’s father on the July 1940 cover photo!! What a great part of the family past ! Would like to purchase a copy for my wife to have.
Does anyone know how to get a copy of an old boys life?
Boys’ Life has some recent back copies available for purchase by calling 1-866-584-6589. But for the older issues, your best bet is probably Ebay.
