Father grew up in Kefalas. Here are some photos of him in his 'niata' or youth. Mother was born in Kefalas in 1914, and lived in the village with her family. In 1937, he was ordained as a Greek Orthodox priest. Father is at the top of the photo.
Mother is in the white coat.
Two of the women are fraternal twins Hariklia and Katina Pothoulakis. Rev. John Kouklakis took his coffee in the 'Venizelist' cafeneion, and Mother's father John Angavanakis spent his leisure time in the 'royalist' cafeneion with his 'parea'. One day Father worked up the nerve to go to the royalist cafe to find John Angavanakis, to ask if he could marry his daughter Catina. After some discussion, John agreed and asked Father what he wanted as a dowry, which was the custom at the time. Father replied that he wanted no dowry, only that he loved Catina and wanted only her.
