The Leroy Lift

The latest of my 'family photo project' is my grandfather, Leroy, demonstrating his strength with what I've dubbed, "the Leroy lift." He's holding a friend up in the air with his arm n the first photo, and on his shoulder in the last. These old snapshots are so playful. None of them are dated and I don't know the identity of the guy being lifted.
The first photograph (above) is in pretty bad shape--cracked, torn, & brittle from getting wet. I did what I could to clear up the image (below). Something--"Del"??-- is written on the back of this photo (below), along with my grandfather's initials & last name. The last photo is the second "Leroy lift" to the shoulder (below).
