Hi Wayne.  I was afraid someone would ask that. Based on the position of the shutter release, I believe it to be a Praktika SLR that I bought used when my eyesight began to get too weak for a Leica LTM rangefinder.

As most of us realize, the family photographer seldom appeared in vacation pictures back in 
the film era.  My youngest son sent me this one tonight that he found in his 
files.  In 1971, when he was 10 yrs old, I had given him a simple camera to take on a 
trip to visit Mississippi relatives, Vicksburg, etc.  He shot this at my old family home.

Things are a lot different with today's cell phone cameras.
What camera is that in your hand?
